Hazel class really enjoyed our end of term Beach school session at West Bay. We spent some time on the beach making clocks, and thinking about good and bad rules for the beach. We then were lucky enough to have a hot lunch at Snack Shack to celebrate the year. All of the students were very well behaved, and we were very proud to represent Mountjoy.
On Friday Chestnut & Rowan visited Sandsfoot beach in Weymouth for a kayaking session run by Weymouth Outdoor Education Centre . Most of the students had either never kayaked or only done it once before. After helmets and life jackets were on the first group set to sea with the WOEC staff all learning how to hold the paddle and navigate their way around the small cove before swapping to the next group, confidence grew within each student and everyone enjoyed the morning. A picnic followed in the gardens above the bay.
We have had a fantastic arts week at Mountjoy! All of the students (and staff) have had a brilliant time making pieces of art from their Chihuly magic boxes, painting pebbles, for a whole school installation, painting canvases (available to buy for a suggested donation of £3, if you haven’t already) and taking part in Oops Wow Art activities with the lovely Jo. On top of all of that, we enjoyed watching or taking part in the production of a Midsummer’s Night dream. Thank you for supporting your young people to access the arts. We’ve already got lots of ideas for arts week next year!
