To celebrate the new BBC nature documentary ‘Life’ the eco-group is running a weekly quiz on each episode – aired on Monday nights on BBC One 10:30PM or catch up on BBC iPlayer if too late. The first three winners with the most correct answers or selected at random will be presented with Fairtrade chocolate bars – any unclaimed chocolate bars will be devoured by E McVea – can’t really say fairer than that!
If possible guys write answers with your name and class details and place in the ecobox in the front foyer from Monday onwards.
