Green Schools News – Guzzler meets his match!

Ratheniska

Do you know Guzzler? Well, he’s the guy who never thinks about saving energy. Guzzler leaves the lights on when he goes out to play and who leaves the door open behind him so all the heat will escape! Gosh, he really guzzles energy. We in Ratheniska thought we would introduce him to someone who is much more careful not to waste energy and who thinks about the ways we can reduce the amount of energy we use. This is good for our pockets and good for the planet!

So, we had an art competition to create and name a character who could be Guzzler’s new friend. All the boys and girls took part and the standard of drawing and colouring was really superb. Well done to everyone and thanks to the teachers for helping out. Here are some pictures of the entries, the winners from each class and of course Guzzler and his new friend, Nibbler.
