Well this last week has been hectic so we’ve decided to write the blog as a week instead of day by day. Everything started coming together really quickly this week. On the adventure side, a few of us worked on assembling the decking platforms while others started to work on the tyre assault, monkey bars and climbing wall. The stage side was coming along nicely with floor beams and boards going down. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t always on our side with tropical storms slowing our progress, however we improvised and continued to make progress whether it was working in classrooms or just simply getting soaked to the bone. As the week progressed parts of the playground started to be completed with children itching to start playing. The adventure side was close to being finished by Tuesday while the stage was a bit behind schedule. Luckily Dave’s mum, Ollie’s parents, Helen, Chris and Louise turned up a day before finishing and chipped in to help us complete the stage. The final day the group got up at 4am to get the 5am bus and complete the stage before the opening ceremony at 1.30. From a personal point of view I was overwhelmed by how much the children thrived on their new playground.
