This was our monthly session at Holy Trinity Lamorbey Primary School.

After a warm welcome, Jane, the vice principal, and Andy the site manager, helped us set up for part 2 of our painting project in the cloakroom area. We're tackling it wall-by-wall, brightening things from a scuffed pale yellow to a fresh clean cream.

Jane provided teas and coffees and there was plenty of chatter as we worked.

Jane also showed us the school's old punishment book, recently unearthed during a clear-out.

• Excrable work in Arithmetic book after many special warnings - 2 strokes each hand.

• Interferring with workman's tools after repeated warnings - 2 strokes each hand.

• Singing while master was absent from room - 2 strokes each hand.

Ouch 😖!

Hopefully our painting would have received gold stars 🌟🌟🌟 rather than a rap across the knuckles!

Join us next month when we hope to finish the job. Meanwhile next week we'll be getting in a good step count with some letterbox leafleting!

"Look mummy, there's an elf!", said a child as we were out and about putting leaflets through letterboxes to promote Mind in Bexley's Mental Elf festive run.

It's not every day you see elves on a sunny October morning, but all for a good cause and it brought smiles to the faces of passersby. Although there were probably some bemused householders when they saw us on their video doorbells!

Our determined pace gave a good step count and being active and outdoors is known to be beneficial for mental health, so this task for Mind in Bexley was a great match for GoodGym.

We have lots more tasks coming up - fancy dress is always optional! - so check out what else is on offer and come and have some fun with us.

Last night our wonderful GoodGymers worked wonders at Wonder Zone Nursery!

It was also Sophie's first ever GG task, and Martin's 100th good deed so there was lots to celebrate.

Running, walking and cycling to the nursery, nine of us were met by Olu, one of the trustees, and he explained the task: tidy up the driveway leading to the nursery and the children's outdoor play area.

There was plenty to do:

• Sweep up sand that had overspilled from children playing in the sandpit.
• Hoover the astroturf areas.
• Remove the painted yellow bay divider lines and a disabled bay symbol from the yard's former life as a car park.
• Clear weeds and leaves from the driveway.

And that's just what we did!

In just an hour the difference was clear to see - all neat and tidy, ready for the children to enjoy!

Afterwards there was flapjack to mark Martin's brilliant GG100 milestone, and we headed to the local Weatherspoons to continue the fun over some food and drinks.
