It was that time again...time for a warm up quiz! The rules are simple (sprint to either the true or false light) and winners do star jumps/losers do squats. With questions including it takes a sloth 2 weeks to digest a meal (true) and theres 202 bones in the human body (false), safe to say we had all warmed up and learnt something new.
It was a short run to St Mary's Forest School where Anne-Marie was waiting for us. It's the first time we had seen the space since we were sifting the soil for glass and digging up other rubbish back in July and the space is AMAZING now. A huge transformation that couldn't have been done without our hard work.
Last nights task was moving the bark (that the parents had carefully laid but minus the weed proof membrane), laying the membrane, pegging it down and then replacing the bark. With 2 areas to cover with split into 2 groups, making sure not to lose the tiny hammer and the scissors (we have marks against our names for losing tools)!
45min later we had the path completed and with everyone getting involved in replacing all the bark in the seating area and a rush to get it done - we achieved our goal!
The post-group run social is definitely taking place on 31st October, for those that have watched me move the listing around over a few Mondays.
