On Thursday 19th of April, Linda de Lange visited

Brampton Primary School. She presented a whole school

assembly on Judaism and held two sessions on the

festival of Passover for Year 1 and Year 3. After hearing

the story of the Passover, the children really enjoyed

seeing genuine Jewish artefacts and food. They joined in

with activities to help Linda to prepare for the Passover

meal; they had a look at the food on the Seder Plate and

learned the significance of each dish and finally they

played ‘hunt for the matza bread’! Afterwards the

children commented on how they liked asking ’a real

Jewish lady’ questions from their previous RE lessons.

Many thanks to Linda for her time and enthusiasm and

to Miss Bartlett for organising the event.

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.

R ELIGIOUS EDUCATION AT BRAMPTON

Brampton BulletinPage 2

Brampton Primary School has adopted the Bexley Agreed Syllabus 2007 for theteaching of Religious Education. Our aim is to teach a broad and balanced REcurriculum and to present and teach RE as a challenging and exciting subject.

The teaching and experiences of our pupils will reflect the fact that the religioustraditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian. However, the teachings andpractices of other principal religions will also be taught. Those represented in GreatBritain are taken to be Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. In linewith the Bexley New Agreed Syllabus, the following religions are studied:

Reception Refer to Early Learning Goals (Foundation Stage)

Year 1 Christianity and Judaism

Year 2 Christianity and Sikhism

Year 3 Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism

Year 4 Christianity, Islam and Sikhism

Year 5 Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism

Year 6 Christianity, Islam and Buddhism

Throughout each year group except year 4 there is a thematic unit studied.

Year 1 Creation

Year 2 Celebration

Year 3 Belonging

Year 5 Expressing Faith

Year 6 Journey of life and death

Whilst it is important that children gain specific knowledge about differentreligions, fostering positive attitudes and values are of equal importance, together with respecting people’s rights to hold different beliefs from their own.

Congratulations

Well done to Jessica Baldwin in 4C who has an unusual

hobby—she is a registered rabbit breeder and has

won a lot of Trophies and Rosettes with her Champion

rabbits. Last weekend there was a big show and she

took five out of her 30 rabbits and she won the Best

Junior Prize with her rabbit Cappuccino!

School News

Although our building work is now finished we still have a few bits and pieces to finish off

internally. Our new library furniture is due to be delivered and installed at the beginning of

May. In the meantime staff have been going through the current stock and removing dated

and tatty books. Miss Hope and Mrs Perks will then be arranging the books to ensure a

speedy re-opening of the library for our children. If families would like to donate any new

books to the library a name plate will be stuck in the book acknowledging the donor.

Peanut Allergies

Please can we remind everyone that we are a ‘Peanut Free’ school in our cooked meals and we ask

parents not to put any nuts or items containing nuts in their child’s packed lunches. Thank you



And finally.......Back gate

Your child will have had a letter today explaining that

the back gate will be re-opening on Monday 30th April.

Please read it carefully as it contains important

arrangements for the beginning and end of the day. We

would like to politely remind parents that that staff are

busy before school and will not be able to speak with

parents after the bell has rung at 8.55am when theregister is being taken and lessons starting. It is much

better if you can drop a short written note for your

child to hand to their teacher and they can get back to

you at a mutually convenient time.

Remember if you like what we’re doing —tell

us and others! If you don’t, please help us

improve!
