Living Museum

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.

This week, Year 5 invited Year 3 to visit a Living Museum. Celebrating the end of our Magnificent Mayan research, we wanted to share our learning and make the most of our GOAL time. We chose an area of our learning to focus on. For example, the modern maya and we spent time teaching Year 3 all about it. We created mayan codes for them to crack, learnt how to weave hair like mayan women, designed posters about the stars and how the maya used them and even taught Year 3 how to weave placemat!

Sophie, Year 3 said: "My favourite part was learning to weave a placemat. I can't wait to finish it at home"

Scarlett, Year 5 said: " I loved having Year 3 up because we could tell them new things that they might not know yet"

Year 5 are now looking forward to sharing their Mayan learning in their class assemblies on 8th November (5N) and 10th November (5V).
