“Umm what has happened to that spring board I’ve just set up?” I mused to myself, as I scanned the playground. One of the blue climbing boxes was packed full of tyres, and my obstacle course was effectively deconstructed. “Wow! Whats happening here?” I asked. James said, “It’s our construction site” “Wow!” That very cool!” I replied, and I stood back and watched as James, Cale, Huddy, Jake, Paddy, Eli and Hunter all took part in hauling tyres, boxes, planks trolleys and all manner of other bits and pieces to the construction site.
