Christmas decorations afternoon

Year 6 and some Year 5 children have, this afternoon, led their groups around the school to different bases, to carry out different craft activities. The groups were a mixture of children from all the different classes and many of the photographs will show older and younger children working together like a big family; we are very proud that our children love to work in this way. 

Here are some photographs of the afternoon...






And here are our group leaders- well done to you all, and another memorable event achieved- you have led a group!

Tag rugby competition at Diss High School


Wind blew, but the rain held off for today's tag rugby competition on the Diss High School field! Class 4 made up three teams and one of them came first in the small schools category! Even more impressive was the children's behaviour and sportsmanship. The staff were very proud of every person- they all gave every effort and played their part in their team's success. 

It was exciting for our children to be led by some ex- Bressingham pupils, who are now sports leaders at the High School. They were responsible and respected. Well done to all...







For our 100 memorable events, we all took part in a competition and represented our school...

Remembrance Day


In memory of those who have taken part in wars to enable us to live in peace, the whole school went to the War Memorial in Bressingham Village, to think about them and sing songs. 

It was lovely to be joined by some parents and people from the village. 




We will remember them...

We will rock you.



Today year 5 went to Diss High School to watch the dress rehearsal of the musical 'We will rock you' and had the most amazing time.

The cast and crew created a wonderful show and spent lots of time talking to the children about their roles. How lovely it was to see some of Bressingham's ex pupils up on stage showing off their fantastic acting and dancing skills. Thank you to everyone at DIss High School for making the experience so very special for us.
