As easy as 123

Tonight's task was as an easy one to arrange. It's the school my children go to and I had noticed on a few occassions that the reception play area was looking a little leafy with the Autumn leaves still floating around...we didn't want the children to fall behind, so a task with GoodGym was agreed with our Deputy Head at the school gate!

I wish all tasks were this easy to arrange. The reception area already had brooms and dust pans and brushes out as play tools for the children, so the tools were sorted. The lighting was on par and access was a breeze! No chance of getting this task marked incorrect!

WWW (welcome, warm up and what you did)

It was great to see Nimi back on her second task with us, having only just joined us last week (and in her tee!...super quick delivery on that!), but as well as Nimi, we also had Lauren join us on her first Slough task but not first GoodGym task as she was a regular in Newcastle until she moved down soughf...

During our warm up, I asked the team what the highlight of their day was and we had lovely replies such as

Attending this session tonight;

Talking to locals ;

Getting their work load sorted ;

Going on a lovely long walk;

To listening to 'my dad wrote a porno' podcast.....

Lovely to start the session with a little insight into each persons day..

Hi school? Nope, we are at the primary

Harsha was the leader of the pack tonight taking Nimi, Lauren and Jen with her whilst I lead the backpack..

It didn't take us long to get there so we'd already decided to run a few laps of the Langley Memorial Park on our way back after the task to get more miles in.

On arrival, we quickly got to work:-

• Jean swept the leaves
• Harsha picked that litter
• Sandy sorted the plastics
• Jen swept the floor clean
• Pam was on bag duty
• Lauren was on shifting and lifting, whilst
• Nimi worked out which toy went where

All in all we did a pretty good job and made the area look like you could eat your dinner off it! We even had time for a few games...well done to Nimi and Lauren on a draw at Connect 4! and Jean for winning the knee tag game!

Next week is our loved up Valentines special...who needs a candlelit evening anyway!
