This term year two are looking at childhood in World War Two.

They have thought about what it would be like to live in Bexleyheath

during the bombing and how they would feel to be evacuated. To help

them understand what happened Miss Hopes father, who was an

evacuee, came in to talk to the children about his experiences. They

prepared questions to ask him beforehand and then heard all about

his wartime childhood spent in a small village near Leeds.

B r a m p t o n B u l l e t i n

Brampton Primary is a restorative school where the initial response to conflict is to

find a solution where things are put right, the victims needs are met whilst also

meeting the needs of the wrong doer and meet all the schools responsibilities.

Restorative Practices

On Tuesday a group of parents and governors came back to school to

learn more about restorative practices, the method Brampton is using

to resolve disputes and behaviour issues. We were lucky enough to

get Lynne Russell from Restorative Justice 4 Schools to explain the

strategy to the group. She has also kindlyoffered to run

further training

sessions later in the

year for parentsso

watch this space.

SEAL HOME ACTIVITIESFORPARENTS TO USE - GOOD TO BE ME !

Brampton BulletinPage 2

Good to be me 3

Knowing our feelings

Take it in turns to choose a feeling card. You should say

one thing that makes the other person feel that way. Checkyour answer. For example, if you are the parent or carer,

and you pick a happy card, you should say what you think

makes your child happy. The child should say whether this

is right. If not, they should say something else.

All members of the family can take it in turns to play this

game. They should say one thing that makes each member

of the family feel that way.

Sporting Success

Congratulations to the Boys 7 a side who are through to the semi finals of the MacCarthy

Cup. They played Burnt Oak last week, drawing 1-1, after extra time it was still 1-1 and they

finally won after a penalty shoot out 5-3. Thank you to Mr Capelli and Mr Kempster for

coaching the team (perhaps they should show the England team a trick or two!).

Well done to our athletes who came 3rd out of 31 primary schools in the final of the Year 3

and 4 Sports Hall Athletics. Many thanks to Miss Bennett for organising the team.

Family SEAL

The first round of Family SEAL came

to an end last week. We have worked

with 10 amazing families who have allbeen very supportive and great fun,

joining in wholeheartedly with all the

different activities. The children wanted

their parents to sign up to do it all

again! We have covered all the SEAL

themes that we work on in school and

the parents commented how useful they

found that, but more importantly they

valued the opportunity to have focused

time with their child. The second roundwill start next week.

Census 2011We have been asked by Bexley Council to encourage all parents to complete and return the Census.Generally, in Bexley the response rate to the Census survey is high (95% in 2001) but there are smallareas in the borough where response rates were much lower. We know that our population numbers

and the characteristics of the population has changed since 2001 so an accurate count is critical for allof us to inform decisions about service delivery and to ensure we receive the correct allocation of

funding.
