Moorfield School pupils rise to Climate Week challenge

Daisy Hall, Beatrice Nelson, and Eva Clark,all aged ten, take part in Climate Week activities
Pupils from Moorfield School in Ilkley took part in the Climate Week one-hour challenge.
Thousands of people from schools, colleges, universities and workplaces all over the country have been involved in the national campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change.
After the challenge to design the ultimate eco-home was revealed to pupils, groups were inspired to create a poster showing their ideas.
A fridge was powered by vibrations from the floor. Recycled pond water was piped in for a washing machine. One group designed a tree house with walls made entirely out of reformed household rubbish.
Pupils are hoping that some of their designs might catch on.
