Roald Dahl Day

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, to celebrate Roald Dahl Day we carried out a variety of activities. These activities were mostly focused around the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

We spent the morning looking at how Roald Dahl created such interesting characters and then we created our own characters, but they had to be mean and nasty! We used Dahl’s characters for inspiration, such as Veruca Salt and Violet Beauregarde.

After that, we planned our own Golden Ticket hunt and then had some fun with chocolate, which included having a Maltesers race! It was only right that we included some chocolate in our day when reading a book like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! The children went to great efforts with their costumes and the Year 3 teachers would like to say thank you to parents and children for their efforts, it really made the whole day one to remember.

Overall, we had a really fun day and it was summed up perfectly when one of the Year 3 boys said “This day just keeps getting better and better!”
