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.

On Wednesday 17th January 2024, Rowan class went to Hampton Court Palace to learn about Tudor Britain. We found out so much about Henry VIII and his 6 wives!
We had an amazing time exploring the palace, dressing up in Tudor costumes, feeling replicas from the time; including fur and feathers! We then went on to explore the kitchens. Here we crushed herbs, learnt about medicines and foods, as well what jobs people did in the palace.
We then had a wonderful time in the maze- luckily, we all made it out…eventually.
Of course we visited the gift shop. Many thanks to the Friends of Mountjoy, who kindly donated £5 per student, for them to take home a memento of the day.
We were very lucky to have a beautiful coach take us and bring us back. All the students were exemplary offsite and we are very much looking forward to more trips like this!
A special thanks to the Access Fund for covering all costs of travel and ticket entrance to support learning outside of the classroom.

We are celebrating Christmas Jumper Day on 8th December, which will hopefully bring some colour to this very gloomy December, and to raise funds for Save the Children.
Please wear something Christmasy tomorrow and if you can, spare some change which will be collected in school. If you prefer to donate direct to Save the Children, here is a link to the school’s Just Giving page:
