Space Lab Experience

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.

On Monday, Year 5 welcomed Mr Murray in to share his Space Lab with us. The planetarium show was fascinating and we really enjoyed crawling through the tunnel to get inside. Once inside, we learnt all about the planets in our solar system. If you were born on Mercury, you would have a birthday every three months!!
We also looked at stars and learnt how to use the north star to find which way to travel. It was amazing to see how the night sky changes each season.

We also tried some space food. The texture was strange in our mouths. We liked the freeze dried ice cream the best.

'It was amazing how real the stars were' - Gregory
'I learnt that two stars point to the north star' - Emily
'I learnt there are dwarf planets. One is called Pluto' - Lucy
