  The children were very excited to make their very own fortune tellers in origami club today. They followed the instructions to carefully fold their paper correctly. They were amazed with the results and couldn't wait to decorate them and share them with their friends!

  

• Wear odd socks for anti-bullying week! 🧦

  Wear odd socks for anti-bullying week! 🧦

  This morning we had a special assembly which was led by Mrs Pearl to help us to think about anti bullying week. We talked about being respectful and what this means. We also talked about treating others with respect. We discussed how bullying is when someone is disrespected over and over again and how this can make people feel. Mrs pearl talked about how this can happen face to face and online. It is never ok to disrespect or bully other children, adults or anyone else. Mrs pearl also talked about how people are sometimes bullied for looking different or being different. This is the reason why we are wearing our odd socks, to remind us that some people may be slightly different to us, but this is ok and we must always respect other people’s differences.

  School Games dodgeball tournament 🧦

  This afternoon some of our year 4 children took a trip out of school, to compete in the School Games dodgeball tournament. It was a pleasure to see the children remembering the dodgeball rules and collaborating as a team. Their Ace values really shone through as they had a positive attitude, tried their best and persevered. They did Bramford school very proud and showed excellent sportsmanship as they were one of the only schools to shake the opposing teams hands after matches!

  Remembrance Church Service ⛪🌹

  This morning we walked sensibly to the church for our special remembrance service led by Mrs Squirrell and Reverend Eric. Year 6 explained why we commemorate the 11th November and also reminded us why we wear poppies each year. Children from Reception to Year 6 sang songs and hymns that they had been learning with Miss Emms and also presented their class wreaths which they had been busy making. On our walk back to school we admired the beautiful poppies that some of our children have been busy making at home to help us to decorate our Duckamere fence. There are 80 poppies in total!

   

   

  

• Federation football friendly ⚽

  Federation football friendly ⚽

  Yesterday we played our first friendly U11 Boys Football match of the season with our federation friends, Somersham. Bramford was represented by eleven fantastic footballers. The boys were supported and encouraged by each other and a large number of spectators on the field. The boys played 25 minutes each way and the score ended a close 4:3 to Bramford.
  It was a lovely event to host and the boys in both teams played with respect and friendly competitiveness.
  We look forward to a re-match at Somersham with our U11 Girls Football team very soon. 

  

• Year 6 visit to PGL ⭐

  Fri 04 Oct 2024 Mrs Ross

  On Wednesday the 25 th of September Year 6 went on their residential trip to stay at PGL Bawdsey Manor, Suffolk. The three days help the children to build their confidence, deal with new and unfamiliar situations, improve personal organisation and to take responsibility. As can be seen in the photos, they took part in a variety of adventurous activities.

  Here are some of the comments the children wrote about their stay:

  'The giant swing was a lot of fun! We had to pull the rope for the others to use the swing...'

  'The first time I did climbing, I was only two rocks away from the top, by listening to the instructor, who had two techniques - knees to chest, or go up like stairs. I used both.'

  'One of my favourite activities was canoeing. It was really fun with the challenges - such as standing on the edge of the canoe... After the session we all got to swim in the lake and that was one of my highlights.'

  'PGL was definitely one of my favourite memories at Bramford.'

  

• Origami club 🐦

  Origami club 🐦

  I was very excited to begin origami club with the children from years 1-6 yesterday. We began our origami sessions by making a simple piece of origami which looked like a dog! We had fun folding and decorating our dogs and had some lovely conversations about our own pet dogs. It was lovely to see the children helping each other and asking to take paper to practise their origami skills at home!

  

• I'm an executive headteacher, get me out of here! 🌿🐒

  I'm an executive headteacher, get me out of here! 🌿🐒

  We are very sad to see Mrs Burgess leave our school at the end of the summer term. She has been an amazing asset to our school and has always had the children's best interests at the heart of everything she has done. We simply could not let her go without her own series of Bushtucker trials in the style of I'm a Celebrity! This was hosted by our very own 'Barnes and Becks' who led Mrs Burgess through a series of trials, where she could earn a star for each course of her special jungle meal outside with the children. The children loved watching Mrs Burgess take part in the trials and enjoyed eating their special jungle lunch with her. In the afternoon, the children had their own jungle scavenger hunt to earn themselves a special star biscuit.

   

  Thank you Mrs Burgess for everything you have done - you really are ACE!

  FOBS Logo competition winner! 🌈✨

  As some of you will know, our HSA has recently been rebranded as FOBS 'Friends of Bramford'. To help the charity to rebrand, the children of Bramford took part in a competition to create a new logo which will be displayed on all of the newsletters and social media pages! To help us to decide a winner, Mr Barnes and the school council short listed the entries that were then voted for by the rest of the school. Congratulations to our winner Enya!
