Morris House Spring Clean!

 Morris House Spring Clean!

Over the last few terms, Morris House has undergone a re-organisation of learning spaces in order to continue to adapt and evolve to our pupils needs and to make the areas more engaging for the pupil’s academic and engagement sessions. With GCSEs underway too, the more classroom spaces the better!

Mrs Ferguson's classroom  has moved to a larger space in Morris House which has made it more engaging for the pupils, with a more comfortable layout and much more space which has shown a positive impact within her teaching sessions. Work is displayed on the boards, which helps the pupils have pride in the work they do, alongside other learning tools to support academic sessions. 

The focus on this room is a secondary space from Mrs Ferguson’s classroom. The pupils have been really engaged in the different maps on the walls – showcasing Hampshire, The UK, Europe and The World. Throughout the term, we have been finding where we live in a local, country, European and worldwide context. The maps support our discussions about places we are visiting and talking about during our sessions. 

Although this classroom has the facilities for pupils to take their exams and still complete their academic sessions, the main focus of this room is Music. The walls show a timeline of the evolution of Music, and resources include an Apple iMac, Keyboard, Guitars and a Nintendo Wii for breakout and engagement sessions.

The Morris House team continue to adapt work spaces to meet the needs and interests of the pupils on the Stretch and Engagement programmes, and it has been really great to see classroom spaces busy with pupils and a learning environment in high demand. Harder to reach pupils attendance is on the up and prioritising their academic needs has been made easier with engaging spaces to do so!
