This is exactly the kind of task GoodGym is great at - big jobs that would take one person ages. And it's also a bit of a workout.

Tonight's task was something a bit different. At Jubilee Primary School, there were loads of clay flowers on a wall in the playground. Some of them were a bit spiky though so Juan wanted them chiseled off so that they weren't so dangerous for the kids!

It felt a bit of a shame destroying the kids' hard work but it was pretty fun. We got into pairs of chiselers and collectors. The collectors sorted the bits into broken flowers and full flowers (which would be moved somewhere else).

While we were doing this, Dan wheelbarrowed a load of weeds into a bin and Juan bought out some painting equipment for us to go over where the flowers were.

After an hour we called it a day having painted one of the walls and removed all of the flowers.

NICE ONE GUYS 🔨

Hopefully we'll be back in a few weeks to finish the painting and put up the flowers we didn't break...!

🧁Here's a link to all our bake off fun - there's still time to join! 🧁
