Due to a mass woodchip delivery, there was far less patio shuffling and a lot more weed pulling!
We helped Brian the Caretaker dig up brambles, nettles, tomato plants and numerous other weeds to make space for a more groomed garden area outside the classroom windows.
We learnt a lot more about Aoife's dislike of creepy crawlies. There was no avoiding the critters this evening, from worms and caterpillars to spiders and earwigs, it was basically a David Attenborough Documentary.
Brian also showed us the Wild Area, which GoodGym helped get started. It is looking fantastic, this is such an amazing learning space for the children.
In typical GoodGym style, we had to have a little play on the exercise equipment before we left!
We also got to see Val's 200 Deeds Shirt and Dave's 100 Wings.

Area Activator for GoodGym Portsmouth. I swear like a sailor, burp like a foghorn. Human A - Z of Portsmouth. Ultimately charming.
