Eco Treasure Hunt

In conjunction with our school's co-curriculum week, an Eco Treasure Hunt was held. Each class was required to send a team of representatives consisting of 4 members. Every environment team worked hand in hand to make this activity a success, coming up with questions participants have to answer before receiving the next clue, The questions ranged from plain nonsensical 'Ding Dong Bell...' to questions which tested the participants' knowledge on the activities carried out by our school's environment team, such as 'What is the definition of compost?'.

On top of that, there were also activities whereby the clues depicting what they had to do were straightforward enough, but actually carrying out said activities require a superhuman amount of patience. For instance, the section of the treasure hunt Eco Rangers were in charge of. The participants had to use the previous clue they were given (100 blue and yellow boxes) to locate Siti Sarah, who would be allowing them to draw plant numbers from the containers. They then have to head to the field and look at every single tree in our eco forest so as to find a name for the number they were given. Then, they would have to head on back to the gallery and find the 'mystery girl' whose plant number they drew, and said mystery girl would give them a fistful of fertiliser and an empty bottle, leaving them with instructions to fill up the plastic bottle and fertilise a plant on the field.

The activity, which managed to illicit more than just a few rows of sweat on the participants' foreheads, on top of testing their patience, took about 2 hours. Prizes were given to the winners.
