ARUNDEL FLOOR

Well, it’s been another fun-filled half of term on Arundel Floor where pupils have been busy relaxing and taking part in after-school activities.

We are seeing our pupils frequent the public gym to take part in the Junior Gym programme. They have been working out hard and really noticing the benefits of a good workout on the body and mind.

The 'Essex rewards' have been a hit this term. Essex pupils have been keeping up to date with the latest releases at the cinema, in 4DX, obviously! And the swimming rewards at the local pool are always well received and appreciated by them.

On floor, we have been taking part in cooking clubs where pupils were challenged to create their own pizza for dinner. This included rolling out the dough, preparing the toppings of their choice and creating their own masterpieces. These are valuable life skills the pupils are picking up, and they all did really well. So, next time your young person says they don’t know how to make anything, just remind them about their pizza-making expertise: set them up and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labours!

Looking ahead, we are happy to see the clocks springing forward and the evenings lengthening so we can get out and about a bit more in the summer term. We will be working hard to get the pupils nice and fit and practising their social skills whilst partaking in activities, such as beach combing, crabbing, wood walks and long summer evenings full of adventure.
