After a grey day there could be only one cure for the Bank Holiday blues.... A goodgym Tuesday Task.

Perfect for running and cylcing, keeping us cool, but not too cool for school.

Today's task, to clear the school house (the old caretaker house) of everything so that it could be sorted. The school were getting ready for a new curriculum so time for a good old spring clean.

But first, we met up as usual at Sport Wales National Centre, said our hellos

Croeso Amelia, welcome to goodgym

After introductions we got our legs moving and made our way through the park and streets up to St Monica's Primary School.

With teachers ready to sort, a skip ready for rubbish and a mighty fine playlist......

let's Do THIS

We made a human chain from the top of the stairs all of the way back to the playground and it began. Every hand and armful was like a memory of times gone by, there were books galore (my favourite was Owl Babies), a child's first tool kit (Jealous!) and a boxed skeleton (Of course) just to name a few.

Then came the furniture, the bookcases just kept on coming.....

Eventually the top rooms were empty, and most of the bottom rooms too. It was a great feeling of achievement, sweaty, active and a great workout. Some of us were leaving with more than we had arrived with, Ellen and her crate - proof we all had a Crate Time.

A quick group photo before heading back for some refreshments and a catch up.
