Y E A R 5 A S P E C I A L D AY F O R A L L !
On Wednesday June 29th Year 5 had a very different day. The Year 5 girls decided to have an all day talent show, they practised all morning and performed in the afternoon. There were all different kinds of acts like singing, dancing and playing musical instruments such as the clarinet and the trumpet. They made up names for their groups such as Jasmine Flowers, Glitter Girls, Rolling Cherries and the Biebets! Some of the songs performed were Fame, Hair spray, Rolling in the Deep, and Tik Tok by Keisha. They even had an interval with refreshments of popcorn and drinks. All the acts were videoed and will be made into a film for all of Year 5 to share. Many thanks to Mrs Stewart and Miss Mason for doing their best to provide some good costumes for the girls. (written by Jade Lee 5S) The boys were privileged to experience an amazing trip to Charlton football ground for the Boys Will Be project. They had a speech from Gary Wilson and the highlight for many was an extraordinary tour of the stadium. They also created animated movies using video cameras and play dough which were a great success. The Tree of Knowledge was mainly to encourage boys to work as a team to achieve their goal. Garys goal for all of us was to achieve the full potential for all our boys. He believed that BOYS ARE BRILLIANT. (written by George Hills 5M) This project will end with two more special days for Year 3 this week.

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.

Choir On Saturday 25th July, Brampton took part in the Bird Collect Midsummer Medley at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. This was our third year of attendance at the concert, and we took 51 children, from the Choir, String Starz and representatives from our Year 4 African Drumming lessons. The day started bright and early with rehearsals at 10 o'clock, and the concert got into full swing at 2pm. The Choir sang a variety of pieces including the magnificent "The Singing Game" with delegates from other Bexley Primary School Choirs; String Starz played in the Bexley Massed Orchestra and the Year 4 African Drummers performed in the spectacular debut performance of "Rice Harvest" as part of the Wider Opportunities Scheme. A lot of time and effort was put into the event by all children, and special thanks go to Miss Hope, Mrs. Perks and Mrs. Stewart for all their hard work and dedication to the Choir and String Starz. Miss Hope would also like to extend her thanks to Miss Carter and Miss Cross who also accompanied the children to the event. Once again, our children performed brilliantly, and were complimented on their talents and impecable behaviour. It is always a pleasure taking our children to extra-curricular events. Many thanks to the parents and families for supporting this event - we look forward to seeing you at the Summer Fete on Friday at 3.30pm for those children in the Choir who want to perform again.

Thank you Governor News The full Governing Body met last week for their termly meeting. Before hand they met with the teaching staff to review the work undertaken this year in different subject areas. They also approved the appointment of Mr Chris Vadukul as an associate governor in order to ensure the governors reflect the ethnic make up of our school. The governors approved the first two training days in September. They received a Head teachers Report on the current work of the school and minutes from the different sub committees held in the last term. Time was also spent on considering futures actions to improve their working practices in order to achieve the Governor Mark FOB News Unfortunately the recent Quiz Night had to be cancelled due to lack of numbers but we know that members of FOB have been working hard to produce a successful Summer Fair this Friday. So we hope you will all come along after school and support this event. Miss Hope and the school choir will be performing their hit song from the recent Fairfield Hall concert to entertain you while you spend your money! Any last minute donations for the bottle tombola and refreshment stalls will be gratefully received.
