1) A charter
In our class we have worked out a class charter. We think that these things will help our
class to have an excellent year. It is up on the wall in our classroom.
• What do you think of our charter?
• Can you think of anything that you might like to add?
• What would there be in a charter for home?
Why don’t your family decide on a charter for your home, if everyone agrees?
You might write or draw your ideas here:

If it isn’t fair, can you make any changes?

Boys Will Be….

Brampton is taking part in a project aimed at improving boys progress in school. On October
12th, at 7 to 8pm, we will be running a parents workshop, featuring Gary Wilson, targeted
at parents of boys where we hope to share practical strategies and suggestions to support
boys. So keep this date free. An invitation to attend will be coming home soon.
