On 15th June, Year 6 attended the informal swimming gala. All children Forthcoming Dates were very excited and we knew we had some good swimmers, however, not even we could predict the outcome. Brampton started superbly SEAL Home Activities coming second in both the free style relays followed by a win in the Street Dancing freestyle race (Lewis Preston). The excellent beginning set up a challenge Week 1 Menu for the others, but every person stepped up to this, with the majority of School News children coming first or second in their race. The encouragement by every child was incredible; supporting every person there. After a long Gold Book Entries hour of intense racing, it came to the final event the Squadron freestyle Weekly Attendance relay, worth double points. This was possibly the most tense race of the And finally day. Expectations were high, and the team did not disappoint. At the beginning it was neck and neck with only one stroke in it, but on the fourth leg, Brampton began to pull in front, with excellent swimming from all the team and some strong swimming from Jade Lucas, it left Forthcoming Dates: Reece Courtney to bring us home in first place. Brampton waited Saturday 3rd July patiently to hear Fosters in 8th, followed by Barrington as well as Charity Walk Blackheath Belmont. Finally the top two results... Second... St Paulinus, therefore Monday 4th July resulting in an emphatic win for Brampton. Moreover, year six's SEAL Assembly to Reception behaviour was outstanding and Miss Bennett was incredibly proud of & Y1 parents their achievements. This was not the only success of the day, next came the Welling Partnership Cricket Competition. Again an exciting Tuesday 5th July competition, with some talented youngsters. With Matt Stock as captain Infants & Y3/4 Sports Day Brampton were 'on the ball' with the game and played with skill and Wednesday 6th July confidence. A superb catch from Reece Courtney and some good bowling Y3 Boys to East Wickham from Dheen Zia, Brampton were looking strong. We batted well with only Y3 Family SEAL BBQ 4-6pm two people getting out in the whole afternoon (therefore losing 10 runs). Thursday 7th July It became aware to me that whoever won the last game against East BBQ lunch Wickham won the whole day. A close game, but with some good batting Brampton were doing well. All teams scored over 600 runs in total. Friday 8th July However, as the results came in, it was East Wickham and Brampton left. Y3 Boys to East Wickham Brampton win with 710 runs! Another win to top off our successful day Wednesday 13th July at Brampton. A very proud Miss Bennett and some extremely happy Last day for Milk orders children! Well done Brampton, we really did Reach for the Stars!

Making change happen

F OR PAR E NT S T O US E

- C H A N GE S

At school, we will be talking to children about making a plan to change something that they are not happy with in the classroom or playground. Is there something that you and your child would like to be different in your home? Why dont you try to change it? Maybe its not arguing about getting up in the morning, or spending more time together or taking the dog out for a walk regularly ... You could make a plan to make it happen, in the same way we do at school. Here it is. When you have tried out your plan review how well it went. Step 1 Imagine that the change has already happened and talk about what would be different what would you see that was different? How would you feel different? Step 2 Agree one thing for each of you to do that will make the change happen. Step 3 Think about what might go wrong and how you will cope with any obstacles. Step 4 How will you know if it has changed? Could you put a chart up with a tick or a sticker for each time things go according to plan? And most important of all Step 5 Think about how and when you will celebrate MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN!!! School Journey Despite all the pre nerves and worries our Year 6 week away to Blacklands Farm went well with all staff and children returning safe and sound. Many thanks to Miss Fisher, Miss Cross, Miss Bennett, Miss Carter, Mrs Coward and Mr Allen who accompanied the children. Street Dancing Success On Sunday 19 June 2011, Teddy Langston, Jamie Scott, Tate Rayner and Louis Rayner took part in the Street Dance International Show at London's O2 Arena. There were 7 dance schools participating as well as some well known street dancing champions!! The boys danced with their school Streetwize and made their parents very proud. They have been working so hard over the past few weeks putting together their routine and they pulled it off with smiles on their faces all the way through ! They were amazing and a credit to Brampton School.
