Puppet Pals

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.

Year 2 have been enjoying the books written by Julia Donaldson this term. In literacy we have been using the stories to support our own story writing skills. We have started to design Character Puppets in Design Technology. Our favourite Julia Donaldson characters are 'The Gruffalo', the mouse and the fox from The Gruffalo, the witch from Room on the Broom and The Stickman. We have chosen the materials which we will need to make our puppets. This week we started to plan how to make the puppets. We look forward to seeing the end results.
