Welcome to Exminster Community Primary School

Thank you for your interest in our school. The children, staff, parents and governors have created our Rainbow Values at Exminster Community Primary School.

The EPICentre of Learning.

Enjoyment

We want every child to enjoy coming to school, to feel secure in their friendships and to be happy to learn.

Potential

We aim to help every child reach and exceed their full potential through providing a rich and varied range of learning opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum. Learning is planned in every class to meet all needs. We aim to find children’s strengths and use these within school to develop children’s confidence and love of learning. ‘Be the best that we can be’.

Inclusion

We pride ourselves in being a highly inclusive school. Inclusion is about adapting for the needs of our learners – however minor or major their needs may be. This has benefits for all learners, learning to celebrate our differences and individuality.

Community

Exminster Community Primary School plays an integral part in life of our village. We maintain a strong family village school ethos. We feel it is essential that children develop an understanding of our school family, our local family, our national family and our international family. Diversity and respect are a golden thread within all that we do.

We have been using Cuisenaire rods this week. Inky sent the class a letter asking the children to make different carriages for a train using the different colours. We compared the lengths and talked about what we were doing. We then moved on to finding equivalent amounts and today we wrote the sum for the same lengths.

E.g. 1 F (Flame) = 1 T (Tan) +1 W (White).

We are working more on this next week.

The children have been busy in their continuous provision. The boys set up the dolls’ house and put the fireman in their beds. They role played an ‘ice storm’ and made sure that after the firefighters had been to work that they slept in the beds. The children have also been making watches with the recycled materials. One child started making one on Wednesday and then all the children wanted to do it! I have seen numbers, pictures being attached, buttons drawn on and careful measuring to ensure the watches looked perfect!
