• The Dentist comes to vist!

  Mon 01 Dec 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  Foxes and Woodpeckers had a dentist come to visit. The dentist talked to the children about how look to look after their teeth such as brushing twice a day and making sure they brush in a circle motion to get rid of those pesky sugar bugs! Everyone showed ACE listening and could answer lots of questions about looking after their teeth. The children were super lucky to also receive their very own toothbrush and toothpaste to!

  

• U11 Boys – Owain Richards Cup: 1st Round vs St Mark’s Primary School

  Fri 28 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  The boys came out strong and in great form, keeping their shape from the very start. The first goal was an incredible long-range strike coming all the way from our own goalkeeper! Going 1–0 up gave the team a huge boost of confidence, and by half-time Bramford were leading 3–0.

  In the second half, St Mark’s began to mount a comeback, but we held our defence well. The match finished 3–2 in our favour, securing our place in the second round.

  Congratulations to the whole team! There skill and determination won through today.  An ACE result!  A big thank-you to our parent and peer supporters, to Mr Vickers for coaching and refereeing the match, and to Mrs Harvey for her coaching and encouraging presence on the sideline.

• Year 5 and 6 visit to West Stow

  Thu 27 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  What a fantastic day - Year 5 and 6 travelled back in time to an Anglo-Saxon village. The children learnt lots of interesting facts such as how the farmhouse had lots of animal skins to keep warm and make clothes. They enjoyed looking through all the replica houses and exploring the land and finding out how it was used. Everyone showed ACE behaviour and had brilliant listening skills 

   

  

• Bramford Girls U11 Football

  Tue 25 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  A fantastically ACE performance from the Bramford U11s Girls yesterday in their Girls Cup clash against Springfield Juniors!

  The team came out strong, scoring the opening goal within the first 10 minutes. Springfield managed to equalise before half-time, leaving everything to play for in the second half.

  The girls showed brilliant teamwork, determination, and energy after the break—and their hard work paid off with a well-deserved second goal. They held on to secure the win and book their place in the second round!

  Well done, girls! On to the next round!

• Year 5 Netball

  Tue 25 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  We have been working on a variety of PE activities. For the first few weeks we worked with tags. We have learnt to use different passes. In netball we know that when we have the ball we keep our feet still. We know more about the positions and have become better at shooting and defending.

  

• Celebrating Diversity Day 2025

  Mon 24 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  On Monday, we had a very special visit from Winston, who travelled across the seas on the Windrush in 1948 from Jamaica. He shared with us why the journey happened, what life was like in Britain at that time for the Windrush generation, and the challenges they faced. Winston encouraged us to think deeply about the idea that we are one human race with many different cultures—something to be celebrated and respected. His stories helped us understand the importance of inclusion, kindness, and valuing the experiences of others. It was a really interesting visit, and we hope the children went home excited to share what they learned with their adults!

  Eight Year 4 children attended a dodgeball tournament Friday morning and Wow what a high paced, fun morning they had!  As each game was played, it was lovely to see their confidence and enjoyment grow. The team demonstrated excellent determination, team spirit and ACE sportsmanship. Well done to you all.

• U11 Football Tournament – Congratulations Year 6!

  Thu 20 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  A huge well done to our Year 6 boys who represented Bramford in yesterday’s U11 football tournament. Despite the very cold temperatures and wind chill factor, the team showed fantastic determination across all five matches against primary schools from Ipswich and the surrounding villages. Their ACE enthusiasm, skill, and excellent team spirit were evident throughout the afternoon. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and sportsmanship—well done, team!
  
  Thank you to Mr Vickers for coaching the team throughout the afternoon's tough matches and the supportive parents who transported and spectated in the freezing weather too.
