Learning at Engagement Centre Morris House

Over the past few months the boys at Morris House have been busy taking part in Forest School at Itchen valley Country Park with Youth Options where they have learnt fire building skills and become quite the pros. The boys have enjoyed toasting marshmallows over campfires and cooking sausages as well as making their own bow and arrows along with much more.



The Pupils at Morris House have also taken part in visiting Art Galleries and Museums around the local area these included the Tudor House Museum, Sea City Museum, Southampton Art Gallery and the John Hansford Gallery. The boys really enjoyed these trips and learning some history about Southampton. The Mirza Haroum expedition was a hit with all the boys, they enjoyed the immersive experience so much that one pupil took back with him what he learnt and created a cylinder in his art lesson to feel like you were having an experience inside a forest.






Just before school partially-closed the boys at Morris house started their NIBAS climbing award at Boulder Shack where they will learn key climbing skills and gain a qualification. We look forward to returning there to complete their award soon.
