Journeys and Destinations: Life on a farm

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.

West Town Farm Visit: the end of our Journeys and Destinations topic

Year 3 had an enthralling visit to West Town Farm, Ide, today! The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the children were in their element. We spent the day taking part in a range of activities including:

- exploring the 'wild side' of the farm where the badgers had dug their sets.

- entering the pasture field to learn about the sheep and cows reared on the farm (including extensive inspection of their poo!)

- playing with friends in the hay barn and eating lunch at the hay bale circle

- river dipping in the stream whilst being on the hunt for minibeasts

- filling our nostrils with the wonderful scents of local herbs

Thank you Team West Town farm for a fun-filled day!
