Re-Building Broken Bridges

On Tuesday 8 runners ran 2km to spruce up the children's outside play area at Tunstall Nursery.

After several sunny days, the wind was out tonight making it a little bit cooler but we were all very glad that we are back to doing evening tasks in daylight! As we warmed up we made guesses as to what we might be doing tonight at the task, then we headed off on the longer route to the task to see who would be right! Jane met us and took us through to the play area where she had several tasks lined up for us. Magda, Hannah and Paul picked up the brooms and began sweeping up to keep the play area clear of leaves and it was soon full of lots of little piles for Ingrid to tidy into the dustpan. Conroy, Steph and Ros took the wheel barrow and set to topping up the sand pit with fresh sand. Kate and Nikki began to help Jane with dismantling a chain bridge in the play area as the supports had become rotten. The pins holding it together were pretty solid though and after a bit of ingenuity we were able to wrestle it apart and make the area a safe and fun place for the children to play.
