Tag Rugby Tournament at Diss High School, 20th November 2017

Today we were invited to take part in a tag rugby tournament. We had three teams consisting of children from Kestrel and Tawny Owls classes. The children were extremely enthusiastic and, as always, very keen to make sure that everyone played fairly. There was great sportsmanship and the teams worked very hard - particularly the girls who, in the case of Bressingham 3, had to play every one of the 5 matches as there had to be two girls playing in every team. 

Bressingham 3 came in second, Bressingham 1 came in fifth and Bressingham first came in 12th. 17 schools played in total from around the cluster. 

In addition to the rugby games we had the added intrigue of the case of the missing coat (resolved before we left, thankfully) and many joyful reunions with past pupils of Bressingham Primary. A very happy afternoon spent by all.

Here are some of the photos of the action to give you a flavour of the afternoon - taken by members of Bressingham 3 (thank you!).

 

Autumn Fayre- raising money for FABs and for Year 6 Leavers

At the FABs Autumn Fayre, Year 6 ran stalls to raise money both for the Friends of the school (FABs) and towards their Year 6 Leavers' treat in the Summer. The children were really creative with their ideas, enjoyed working to prepare their stalls and games and were responsible in running them and then checking the money and clearing up afterwards. Thank you to Maisie's Mum for helping with the float and to Year 6 for being such good citizens- we are kind and helpful...

(The strange clothes were for a Spotastic Children in Need event!)

Well done to you all.

Children in Need- Spotastic!

Kestrels visit Imperial War Museum, Duxford

'What an excellent day: memorable events (going on an aeroplane- Concorde; learning from an older person), learning about World War 2 for our current topic, mostly blue skies and exemplary behaviour. Superb....

A great day that we will write about, to remember it and to tell others about it- coming soon....

Independent research- finding out about World War 2

Having completed a more guided piece of work, we have been investigating our own questions about World War 2, trying to use at least two sources of information to support our facts and presenting our work clearly. Here are a few examples...

Then we went around the classroom to read one another's findings and give feedback about the information and how it was presented...

Some great independent work and thoughtful comments. Fabulous work from Kestrels...

Apple-bobbing and instructions

We had fun playing a traditional game- apple-bobbing- then wrote instructions about how to play!

Improvising in drama- Friend or Foe

Will David and Tucky inform Mr Reynolds that they have found two German pilots on the moor near the farm? 

We have acted out the scene, with narrators, experimenting with what the characters may say, do and feel as they talk about their dilemma...

The children really enjoyed the experience. Next they will commit their ideas to paper, writing a play script of the scene.
