Final Few Friday Hours...

We had to fit a lot in on Friday morning!

First we worked with Josh to create performances about all our Minstead beads and we sang the Fire Fairies song, accompanied by the mandolin.



Then we moved up to the Mizmaze where we remembered the messages our creatures and plants had taught us during the week and earned our badges...



We also had to pack up our dormitories and check how eco-friendly we had been during the week...



We used only 3280 litres of clean water during the week, which is the lowest total of any school at Minstead, so we were really pleased. (Don't worry, we still kept clean, but we remembered to turn off taps when we weren't using them and have short showers!)

We used 1750 litres of recycled rainwater to flush the toilets (big and little flushes...), 88kw/h of electricity and only 1 cubic metre of gas. Even in winter, the solar panel on the roof of the eco-dorm got up to 23ºC during the week, although it was only 11ºC this morning.

All our efforts helped towards looking after Planet Earth, and you can see Alex doing just that right here...



Thanks to all the staff at Minstead for a fabulous week! You can learn more about the centre here...
