Football Festivals!👣⚽

Mon 16 Jun 2025 Mrs Ross

There were two football festivals we attended. A festival for our U7 children and one for our U10 girls team.

Both afternoons were a joy to attend as a Bramford staff member. Every pupil represented themselves and Bramford beautifully. All players worked as a team, demonstrated fantastic team spirit and for some who had never played football, courage and determination but most of all they all had fun! Our U10s girls drew two of their matches and won two! Thank you to Mr Vickers who gave up his time to support the two teams and the kind adults who also gave up their time to transport the children to ITFC. Well done to all who participated for being ACE!

Reception Jimmy's Farm trip! 🐷

Mon 16 Jun 2025 Mrs Ross

Woodpeckers and Foxes enjoyed a very sunny first school trip to Jimmy's Farm.

After a morning learning about the 'Animals ABC', we took some much needed shade in the woodland and put our Forest School skills to good use with some expert den building.

U11s semi final cup match ⚽

U11s semi final cup match

Yesterday afternoon our U11 boys Football Team played their semi final cup match game against 'St Mark's Primary'.

Our opponents today were skilled and competent opponents. St Mark's team opened the scoring with a confident first goal; with a second St Mark's goal not long after. It was difficult for our team to penetrate their defence in the first half and frustration was on the faces of our team. At half time the Bramford boys were encouraged and reminded to play as a team.

The game became pacier with our players stepping up their game to match their opponents. It was then that the breakthrough happened. Linked play and perseverance to hold possession of the ball meant chances opened up to us. With three amazingly ACE Bramford goals scored consecutively, the possession in the second half was very much ours but not without the Bramford defence and goalkeeper having to work extremely hard to keep out some amazingly close near misses too. The winning goal was scored in the final couple of minutes of the game securing our place in the cup FINALS! The match ended with a triumphant final score of...3:2...to Bramford! The team thoroughly deserved this win.

As always, thank you to all the parents who spectated. Mr Vickers and Mrs Harvey, thank you for your time, dedicated coaching and words of encouragement from the sideline.

As a school we are VERY proud of the way the boys performed as a team. We wait with excitement as to the team we will play in the FINAL and where the match venue will be.

You are ACE! We have ended the season with three consecutive wins!

Hedgehogs share morning 🦔🌈

Hedgehogs had a lovely morning sharing their learning with their parents. They enjoyed using their ICT skills to find the 54 countries in Africa, making play dough continents, making African necklaces, reading African stories and unscrambling African animal names. Thank you to all who came, we loved having you!

Tortilla making! 🌮

Tortilla making! 🌮

Today we continued our learning about the Maya civilisation and linked this to DT/cooking. The Maya people grew and ate corn or maize. They even worshipped a maize god. We looked at pictures of maize / corn on the cob, handled dried corn kernels, tasted tinned sweetcorn and made our own tortillas using corn meal, olive oil, salt and water. I was impressed with how well the children taught each other how to make the tortillas and how sensible and safe they were while cooking.

Sun safe assembly 😎🌞

Sun safe assembly 😎🌞

We had a special assembly yesterday which was delivered by a special visitor from cancer support, Suffolk. They came in to educate us all about staying safe in the sun. We discussed wearing protective clothing, wearing factor 50 sun cream, remembering our sun glasses, staying hydrated and seeking shade. We all listened beautifully and learnt some new things about protecting ourselves from the sun. Some of the adults were surprised to hear that some suncreams have to be used within 12 months!

I wonder how many of the children came home to talk to you about the following sun safe rules:

Slip on a shirt, Slop on the 30+ sunscreen, Slap on a hat, Seek shade, Slide on some sunglasses.

End of the week good news!

The Bramford U11 football team are now through to the Owain Richard's Cup Semi finals after winning 1-0 against Cliff Lane. We are so proud of them, as they worked so hard throughout the game and stuck together as a team.

It was a great match to watch with both teams playing fairly against each other. Both teams played their hearts out. Bramford managed an excellent goal within the second half of the match and as a team defended successfully.

Thank you to all the parents who transported and spectated. Mr Vickers and Mrs Harvey as always we thank you for your time and coaching.

KS2 Cross Country 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Congratulations go to all 20 pupils from our Yr4, 5 and 6 classes that competed yesterday in the IPSSA cross country event at the Royal Hospital School.

The location and weather made the most beautiful backdrop to the afternoon of racing.

With over 150 children running in each year group race, our Bramford pupils did so well. With tough competition - they all gave it their all! We hope they all enjoyed the experience and representing their school alongside others. The groups definitely demonstrated many of our ACE particles!

With tough competition, Bramford runners had finishing times that ranged from being amazingly ACE - 100th to an astonishing 18th, 17th, 16th and 8th place in the race!!!

We wait to hear from IPSSA how we did as a team against the other schools there. But we are tremendously proud of the children’s enthusiastic, team spirit and courage to run the way they did. It was an aspiration afternoon.

Thank you to all parents who transported and cheered on our runners. We could not get involved in these events without you.
