• Our Year 6 Owls Learning update!

  Tue 03 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  In year 6, we have been beginning to explore our new book ‘The Last Bear’, with the children applying descriptive language from this to their writing. We have also been investigating Charles Darwin’s concept of evolution in reading; we have been studying graphs in maths.

   

  Within our afternoon learning, we have started to look at light, as this terms science unit, and continued our investigation into space within our topic lessons. 

   

  The children have enjoyed their golden time and continue to strive to achieve it. 

• Girls U11s Bramford VS Whitehouse

  Tue 03 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  This afternoon our fantastic U11s Girls football team travelled away to play a cup match against Whitehouse Primary School, and what a match it turned out to be!

  From the very first whistle, the girls showed brilliant teamwork, encouraging one another and playing with smiles on their faces. It’s always wonderful to see how much they support each other on and off the ball.

  We got off to a strong start, taking the lead with a superbly taken goal that found the back of the Whitehouse net. The team worked tirelessly, passing well and defending confidently. Just before half time, Whitehouse managed to equalise, making it 1–1 at the break.

  There were no signs of disappointment from our girls. Instead, they regrouped, stayed positive and knew that if they wanted to win, they needed to keep pushing forward. Their determination paid off in the second half as they scored two more fantastic goals, sealing a well-deserved 3–1 victory!

  It was a huge success and a brilliant team performance from start to finish. The girls should be incredibly proud of themselves for their effort, resilience and sportsmanship.

  As always, a huge thank you to all of our wonderful parents for their continued support — cheering from the side lines and helping with transport to the away match. Your encouragement makes such a difference to the team. Thank you also to Mr Vickers for giving his time, guidance and valuable strategy to help the girls perform at their very best.  

  We’re through to the next round of the cup — exciting times ahead! Who will we play next? Watch this space! 

  

• Bramford Bastketball

  Thu 12 Feb 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Twelve of our Year 6 attended the U11s school games basketball tournament on Tuesday afternoon. The year 6s played a total of four games, the first half of the game being played by the girls and the second half being played by the boys.
  
  The children were so supportive of everyone in team Bramford and it was lovely to hear their words of encouragement and support as they cheered on their peers! They followed the rules of basketball and played fairly, shaking the hands of the opposing team at the end of every match! They understood that the tournament wasn’t just about winning and thoroughly enjoyed taking part. They were a pleasure to accompany and did the school very proud! Well done team Bramford!

• U11s Boys (Bramford vs St Mary’s Primary School): 1–0

  Mon 09 Feb 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  The boys played at home against St Mary’s Primary School and secured a well-deserved 1–0 victory. The goal came in the first half following good attacking play, and the team showed strong organisation and commitment for the remainder of the match. There were chances for both sides, but Bramford's defence remained solid and the goalkeeper made several important saves to maintain the lead. It was a true team performance, with good communication and control at the back contributing to a deserved win.  Congratulations boys!

   

  Both teams are ACE and represented our school extremely well.  

• U11s Girls (Bramford vs St Mary’s Primary School): 1–3

  Mon 09 Feb 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  The girls played at home against a strong St Mary’s Primary School side and showed great resilience throughout the match. Although they went into half-time 3–0 down, the team battled back well in the second half, scoring a goal and putting sustained pressure on the opposition. The girls worked hard together against some very skilled players and demonstrated excellent teamwork and determination. The match was played in a fair and sporting manner.  Well done girls!

• Frogs Learning Update!

  Thu 05 Feb 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Frogs have had fun over the past week in PE and have continued to work well together. We have been creating our own shapes, planning the level of our movements; high, medium and low, this has enabled us to begin to form our own dancing sequences. A lovely social activity working in groups for Science. We talked about shadows and UV rays and made our own shape pictures to test the sun's rays. We are excited to see if the paper will change colour! We have practised using our dictionaries to find the meaning of new words related to our new book Viking Voyagers. In IT we have continued to learn coding to enable characters to move on route and change their designs!

  

• U11 Boys and Girls Football League latest match report - AWAY game at St John's Primary School

  Tue 03 Feb 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Both the boys and girls U11 football teams were once again in action yesterday afternoon, this time away at St John's Primary.  Both teams had great work rate throughout their matches. The opposition team were very hard to break down but both sets of Bramford players didn't give up and kept going until the end.

  Unfortunately this time both teams lost on this occasion.  With exactly the same scoreline 6:0.

  Every player should be proud of themselves.  They showed skill and determination both individually and as a team.  Bramford were gracious in their defeats.  We are very proud of your efforts  and abilities just as we always are. 

  A big thank-you to our parent supporters and transporters, and to Mr Vickers for his time and coaching of both teams with encouraging game plan throughout. 

   

• Magpies Learning Update!

  Fri 30 Jan 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  We have been learning about counties and the countries of the GB in Geography and enjoying filling in maps and using atlases.

  In science we are continuing to learn about light and classifying  materials according to whether they are opaque, transparent or translucent.

  In English we had a look inside the suitcase to look for clues as to where it might have been from and what our next writing book might be about.

  We also enjoyed the visit from the Olympian athlete where we worked hard to complete different circuit activities! 

  

• STEM Day!

  Fri 23 Jan 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Year 5 enjoyed their STEM session with Dom, Michala and the Sphero Bolt kit. They used the tablets to code the Spheros, making them move, turn, light up and make sounds. Year 5 also learned about how coding skills relate to lots of jobs we might want to do in the future. Dom and Michala told Year 5 all about the large variety of jobs that will be available in a few years as Sizewell C power station is built. There will be apprenticeships for 16 and 18 year olds in lots of areas. It’s been an inspiring morning

  

• Year 6 are back and busy learning...

  Wed 14 Jan 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  We have started this term by beginning our voyage into space. Through exposing the children to this topic within writing, reading, science and topic, we hope to dive deep and shoot for the stars with our learning. Our maths unit is also progressing, as we learn about: percentage, fraction and decimals; consolidating previous learning. The children will also practise their arithmetic skills each week, where results will be examined and gap-filling can continue, as well as much more coverage across the curriculum. We look forward to demonstrating our learning this term.
