What a day Year 3 and 4 have had today for their DT project of designing and making a slingshot car. They showed such incredible resilience, worked brilliantly in teams, negotiated and problem solved when things didn't quite go to plan and cheered each other on when we were testing them. What a fantastic end, to a great first week of the summer term. ☀️

Children in Year 3 and 4 have been thinking about the importance of the NHS and the different career pathways that are offered! I wonder if we have a heart surgeon, a phlebotomist, a chef, a nurse or a dentist among us? The children have been designing posters to enter into an NHS competition. Amazing work Badgers, Otters and Foxes!

Year 5 have had a truly scientific week! On the first day back, the children were treated to a very informative and hands-on workshop delivered by the knowledgeable staff and students from Colyton Grammar. As part of the 'Gears and Pulleys' topic, the children investigated the different types of gears and pulleys, how they worked and how they are used in everyday items in the real world. Thank you Colyton Grammar School. The children also got to continue their 'Changing Materials' by planning and carrying out investigations, exploring irreversible materials.

Welcome back Robins! What a first week we have had. Our topic this half term is ‘What a Wonderful World’ and this week we’ve really seen how true this is! We’ve been loving our learning about mini beasts and have been enjoying playing in our small world tuff tray. The children were emptying the water tray out and discovered a family of newts - one was pregnant too! The children were so excited and we’ve created them a temporary home and we’ve been able to observe them over the week 🙂 The children have been loving being back with their friends and have been playing together beautifully! It’s good to be back together again 🥰 #EYFS #learnthroughplay #whatawonderfulworld🌍 #understandingtheworldEYFS

Welcome back Little Acorns! We hope you have had a lovely Easter break. This term we will be looking at our environment, growth and mini beasts. As luck would have it, we found both a frog and several newts in school to kickstart our topic!

🌟 A fantastic start to the new term for our Year 3/4 pupils! 🌟 This week, we’ve dived into our brand new Geography unit: What are rivers and how are they used? 🌊 The children kicked things off by exploring the water cycle, learning key processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Working in small groups, they created brilliant diagrams to show how water moves through the cycle. Lots of great teamwork, creative thinking, and scientific curiosity on display! 💧🌀 Here’s to a term full of learning, discovery, and fun! 🌍✨ #Year3 #Year4 #GeographyFun #WaterCycle #Teamwork #PrimaryLearning

Year 1/2 have had a fantastic afternoon in their science lessons. Year 1 have been collecting rainfall data and have produced graphs showcasing the data collected. The children have spotted that rain falls more in spring! Year 2 have had fun designing houses this afternoon ready for their gardens. The children have planted grass seeds in their gardens and are taking part in a competition of who can grow the healthiest grass! Game on!

Year 1/2 will be having a DT day on Friday 25th April. We will be constructing a windmill focusing on how they work.

Our cooking group ended the term with a wonderful feast of frittatas! The children's confidence in choosing and chopping vegetables and exploring new tastes has been wonderful to watch. We are really grateful to Project Food for all their support in this project. Well done to all our budding new chefs!

It was a real pleasure to celebrate Easter together as a school family on Friday in the The Minster Church. Our Year 1-2 pupils, who led us in a retelling of the Easter story, and year 6 pupils, who led us in a prayer, spoke so clearly. Singing was full of joy. Our termly stars were celebrated with enthusiasm. What a wonderful way to celebrate Easter! Thank you to everyone that supported us and made it possible. From Rev Leisa and the church staff, to all the parents, carers and friends who helped us walk safely to and from the church. We all wish you a very Happy Easter! 🐣

🎭 What a show! Our brilliant Year 3/4 pupils wowed everyone with their fantastic performance of Panto Pandemonium! From dazzling costumes to hilarious moments and confident singing, they truly brought the pantomime magic to life. A huge well done to all the children and staff involved – we couldn’t be prouder! 🌟👏 #PantoPandemonium #AxminsterStars #PrimarySchoolProud

Year 2 have been having a go at writing instructions. We've made Rice Krispy Nests and then we wrote the recipe using imperative verbs and sequencing words. Maybe you could try the recipe over the holidays? Happy Easter!

Year 1 have been looking at acrostic poems today. We wanted to show you how proud we are of ourselves by performing our finished poem.

We are having a busy final week of the Spring Term in reception! We’ve been loving the sunshine and being able to use all of our wonderful outside space. The children have been showing off their developing gross motor skills on the bikes and trikes where the children have been challenging themselves to travel around cones and various obstacles showing their focus and control. In maths the children have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and have been naming them and talking about their properties. We’ve been having lots of fun creating our own shape pictures representing different methods of transport, and been using the magnetic shapes to create our own models too. In reception we have been working incredibly hard on our independent writing, the children have been coming up with their own sentences and independently writing them using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. #EYFS #learningthroughplay #onthemove

This week in KS1 we have been super mathematicians. Year 1 have been focusing on mass. We have been investigating mass and comparing objects based on this. We compared the masses of objects using non-standard units of measure. We used the stem sentence: the mass of the ________ is ________ cubes. We then used pencils as our non-standard unit of measure.
