Students from Ridgeway School in Plymouth recently won a European competition with their film about global warming.
About 16 pupils of all ages used modelling clay to show how climate change affects the seas around us.
The six-minute flick, called Our Coast, Our Sea, Our Planet, starred an octopus, seahorses, and eco finger-wagger Al Gore as some plankton (times really must be hard).
Ridgeway’s efforts triumphed over 53 schools from eight countries in the European Community’s EUR-OCEANS film compo.
The team’s movie was first judged the best in Britain and the eight finalists were then invited to the European Commission in Brussels for the award ceremony.
The school was presented with its prize of educational resources worth 5,000 euros by European Commissioner Joe Borg at the ceremony in Belgium.
That’s about a tenner in ‘real money’, isn’t it? Still, we guess you’re grateful for anything when you know the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
