Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...

Once upon a time there were six lovely GoodGymers who liked to do good deeds.

This day was a very special day because it was the day they would sort and tidy the library at a local primary school so that all the boys and girls could enjoy the delight of reading a super story or learning about something new! When they arrived, the library was a little muddled up and the books needed sorted into authors and topics, as well as labeled up, so that the children would be able to take them home for a week to share with their families and friends.

Michael the Wise and Charlotte the Proud got straight on with the non fiction section while Katy Queen of Squats and Ross King of Burpees sorted through F-S in the fiction section. They were joined by Lady Amy and brave knight Andrew, defeating the science books and authors A-C.

On their journey they learned a great many things, such as 'What makes things Yucky?' (yes, that really was a book title), and just how many books Michael Morpurgo had written (a LOT).

After two hours of dedicated work, the books were looking very organised and the Bookworm Army headed home to live happily ever after.

"Awww, can we hear another story about the brave knights and ladies of GoodGym?" I hear you shout...Well, all you need to do to join them is take a look at our next missions! Dig Dig Dig at St Lawrence on Saturday Morning here and Tidying the Creative Writing Gardens here
