We discussed Needs vs. Wants, and decided on what we could do without for 24 hours - and what activities we could do in lieu. It was oddly tricky to convince certain individuals that being stuck to a screen wasn't essential to their survival!

We did some masked, gloved, socially distanced planting of bamboo, lettuce and basil. Fun fact: last week we turned up and watered some soil from before March break when we'd planted beans but not returned to school... and we have 10 magic bean sprouts that survived the pandemic!

We decided on an eclectic menu (with 2 desserts): -Green Salad -Samosas -Stirfry -Chicken & Rice -Cake -Ice-cream (Fair Trade chocolate obviously) Then we wrote out recipes and imagined where the ingredients may have come from (how far some may have travelled). We discussed eating local and the 100km diet. Though there is no Fair Trade chocolate 100 kms away - which was the source of much distress!

Description

As during Covid Times schools are not recycling (!!!) and we shouldn't really be bringing things in, we scoured the room to find things we could us to make an artistic sculpture about something important to us out of reusable materials. This rocket is due to our fascination with the recent exploration of Mars, and our daydream of creating a healthier, environmentally-sustainable life there one day!
