Girls on Board at Axminster Community Primary School! We are delighted to share that our school has begun its Girls on Board journey, led by Mrs Gurd. This programme is designed specifically for Key Stage 2 pupils, helping girls to better understand the dynamics of their friendships and giving them the tools to navigate challenges with empathy and confidence. As part of this, Mrs Gurd will be leading on all KS2 girl-related behaviours, supporting pupils to take ownership of their relationships in a constructive way. Girls on Board encourages resilience, kindness, and a stronger sense of community, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have across our KS2 classes. Please speak to Mrs Gurd if you have any questions.

🌟 Science in Action! 🌟 Today, our Year 3 and Year 4/5 scientists kicked off their brand-new science units! 👩‍🔬 Year 4/5 explored the world of sound. They discovered how vibrations help us to hear and carried out exciting investigations using tuning forks and drums. Lots of curious questions and some very noisy fun! 🥁🎶 🧑‍🔬 Year 3 began their journey into the world of rocks and soil. To help them understand how different rocks and soil are formed, they used chocolate to model and compare the processes. A delicious way to learn about geology! 🍫🪨🔍 We can’t wait to see where our investigations take us next!

Today, the children in Eagles and Hawks have started their 'Police Mini-Course' with Devon and Cornwall Police. It was their first session with Lindsey who explained what the many roles the police are involved in such as helping people, crime prevention and supporting other emergency services. Some of the children even tried some of the police equipment on - yes, the children were released!! They thoroughly enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next sessions.

Robins and Starlings class have been having a busy week! Our receptions have been enjoying lots of play with their friends as they settle into their new classes. We’ve seen lots of great sharing and turn taking and we’ve been enjoying our class text, ‘Super Duper You’. Our Year 1s have had their first week of learning lots of new subjects and they have been incredible! We’ve been enjoying lots of new learning, science was a definite favourite where we’re learning about different materials. We had lots of fun exploring and sorting different materials! #eyfsks1 #learnthroughplay #continuousprovision

Squirrels and Hedgehogs have had a brilliant first week at school! It has been lovely to see how quickly they have settled and have enjoyed catching up with their friends. After a visit to Brazil and Spain last week, we have jumped back into our learning this week! Our highlights this week have included: - creating self portraits in Art - learning the Christian creation story in RE - using scientific vocabulary to describe different objects and what they were made of in Science - reminding ourselves how to use our maths resources - getting a new story, deely boppers and a note from a troll called Timothy Limpet - writing some rules on how to be a good troll - some of our ideas were totally gross and yucky!

Welcome back to the Autumn term to all our families, old and new. We are enjoying the lovely sunny days and having lots of fun up on the field and in our gardens. Our theme this half term is 'Incredible You' and we are using the Colour Monsters to talk about emotions and how we are feeling. The children have settled back in so well, we are very proud of them!

🎭✨ What a magical way to spend our penultimate day of term! Today, our pupils were treated to a fantastic performance of Pinocchio by the wonderful M & M Theatrical Productions. 🌟 There were laughs, gasps, and even a few dance moves as we followed Pinocchio on his incredible adventure. A huge thank you to the M & M team for bringing the magic of theatre to our school — the children (and staff!) absolutely loved it! 💫🎉 #SchoolTheatre #Pinocchio #MandMProductions #EndOfTermFun #PrimarySchoolMagic

In Year 1/2 we designed and made lassi as part of our Adventure India topic. We taste tested a range of fruits to decide which flavour we would like to make. Lassi is made from yoghurt, fruit, with a splash of milk and a dash of sugar. Some children opted for a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. The most popular flavour was mixed berries, but mango and pineapple were also enjoyed!

🌟 What a Fantastic Year in Year 3/4! 🌟 As we wrap up an incredible school year, we’ve been busy putting the final touches on some brilliant work! 🏺✨ Our Ancient Egyptian fact files and Google Slides have shown just how much we've learnt about pyramids, pharaohs, and fascinating traditions of the past. In RE, we've explored how all religions share beautiful foundations in kindness and respect – a message we’ve carried into our classroom every day. 💛🌍 And to finish the year off with creativity, we’ve been channelling our inner Monets to produce some stunning Impressionist-inspired artwork – just in time to brighten up the last few weeks! It’s been a joyful, creative, and curious journey together, and we’re SO proud of everything Year 3/4 has achieved. Thank you for a wonderful year – enjoy a well-deserved summer break! ☀️🍉🎉 See you soon! #Year34 #EndOfYear #AncientEgypt #REKindness #MonetArt #ProudTeacher #SummerVibes

It was wonderful to celebrate our Year 6s this morning in Leavers service. We had a chance to look back on everything that you have achieved in your time at Axminster and to celebrate the new beginnings that are about to start. Thank you for your academic and pastoral successes and your kindness, friendship and loyalty.

Urgent - we have changed the way we come in and leave site for today and tomorrow due to a baby seagull on the floor by the office, causing its parents to dive at people entering the building. If you are coming to breakfast club, nursery or reception please use the end gate and go towards nursery. Breakfast club should come in via the nursery garden. Nursery and Reception use the normal door. Everyone else should come in via the front playground. We will be opening the gates at 8.35. If you are coming to Leavers' Service - please wait on the playground until 8.55 when a member of staff will escort you to the hall. Everyone will be leaving from the front playground. Please bear with us as this will add some time to our sending home procedures. Thank you for your patience and understanding in keeping everyone safe.
