As part of our science topic this term, we had a visit from Wilber the skeleton. We have been learning about the different bones in the body; how they work with our muscles and tendons.
It was great to see how the children remembered some of the bone names and his visit really helped to reinforce our learning.
(Thank you to Harvey S-J for the loan of Wilber who has just finished staring in a local independent film!!)

On February 29th, pupils from Mountjoy School took part in a sponsored bounce to mark the leap year and raise fund for The Friends of Mountjoy School. Your children have collectively raised over £1000 so far with more money still coming in. Watch this space for a final total! Well done everyone. The money will go to further curriculum enrichment to support our learners. The day included leap year activities in class. Classes had a timetabled slot to have a turn at the circuit of bouncy activities and then the timed bounce on the trampoline. Albie Black from Acorns class won the challenge with 81 bounces in 60 seconds.
It was a fabulous day and enjoyed by all. Many thanks for all the support on the day from the Rebound team and to parents for getting behind this idea.

On Monday 22nd January Oak class went on a theatre trip to Dorchester!! Dorchester Arts had organised ‘Frozen Light’ specialist PMLD theatre company to visit the Corn Exchange with their ‘Bar at the Edge of Time’ show. We were able to have the whole session to ourselves. The show was based around a cocktail bar with the performers being the bar tenders then the musicians at a gig. Throughout the session the cast were really looking to see how our students reacted, encouraging them to touch, smell and taste items they had to show; their mocktails were delicious and the smoke machine bubbles were fun to watch…….and pop! Once the music started the students were encouraged up dance, the ping pong balls on the drums was quite spectacular – we were even allowed to bring some home! All in all a lovely afternoon, we’ll definitley be keeping an eye out for more Frozen light performances
