Knavesmire School got their hands on some more bark so we had a challenge on to clear it as quickly as possible, to top up the forest school area.

Chief rakers Ellie and Simon tried to create a ramp from a plank of wood but it resulted in a few misses and spills from the wheelbarrowers so we stuck with a simple lift and shift system.

Graham turned up just as people were starting to flag and gave us all a motivational boost, almost as motivational as the chocolates Christine had waiting for when we finished.

With the bark pile cleared and all the debris swept up beat and tidy, we enjoyed a few choccies before running and walking off in different directions.
