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.

“The more you read, the more things you’ll know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go,” Dr Seuss.

 

As reading is so important for children’s development, the children in Year Three will be having a focus on reading during this half term.

 

Each week they will complete an activity from the selection shown below. The children will bring these into school the following week and we will share them as a class and display them on our 'We are Readers' board in the classroom. As part of this sharing we will post, regularly, on this blog to show the fantastic reading the children have been doing.

 

Click 'Read More' to see the exciting activities.

 

Write a review of your
favourite book including a brief synopsis (summary). Tell us why you love it!

 

Create a character fact file for your favourite book character.

Collect together some objects that remind you of a book. Bring them in and get others to guess the book.

Draw your favourite story as a comic strip.

 

Extreme reading

Take a picture of yourself reading in an unusual place or while doing an exciting activity (Please be careful!)

 

As a family, create a Top Ten list of children’s books.

Design a brand new
front cover for your favourite story.
Create a quiz for a
series of books or about a particular author. As a challenge, you could make
this about children’s books in general!

 

Share a story with someone that you wouldn’t normally. It could be a neighbour, auntie or uncle, or even your pet.

Write a short reflection on the experience and maybe a photograph.
