ARUNDEL FLOOR

This second half of the autumn term has been both busy but also relaxing on Arundel floor. We have mostly kept to our usual routine with some pupils attending the local gym. Tuesday evenings included basketball club, maths club, extra PSHE, and  even parkour for one of our pupils. Wednesday evenings consisted of outings such as the driving range or swimming, and Thursday evenings tended to be more relaxed with baking, watching a film, or playing with electronics. Some of the pupils enjoyed a night out to laser quest, where they played against another local school, which made the game more interesting and competitive. 

The run-up to Christmas has been exciting and lively on Arundel floor. Despite the pupils being older, they are just as excitable as their younger peers. We had a Christmas floor trip out to Worthing Christmas Ice Rink, followed by McDonald's for dinner. The pupils behaved fantastically, representing the school very well, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Some of the pupils were naturals on the ice, skating around with ease, whilst others found it more challenging but persevered for the whole session. One staff member loved showing off his skating skills too!

One of the pupils suggested making pizzas for dinner, so they all created pizzas for tea using many different toppings. They thoroughly enjoyed doing this, especially eating them!

This week we had a Christmas party on floor, with a huge buffet of delicious food. We played the gift exchange dice game, which became very intense but all the pupils loved opening their gifts. We also played cards and shared card tricks - a lovely end to the term before breaking up for Christmas! We hope all the pupils have a wonderful Christmas break and we look forward to seeing them in the New Year! Merry Christmas everyone!
