SILVER AWARD
With all the excitement of parties, pre-
sents and delicious food, not many of us
stop to think about the amount of waste
created at Christmas. It is estimated that in
the UK we make a massive 3 million ton-
nes of rubbish over the festive period, and Lost
sadly much of this ends up dumped in James Stock (7H) black
landfill sites. ‘skins’, brand new top
(named)
Please make sure that as much as possible of Christmas is recycled. Many Bethan Robinson (4C)
shops now recycle Christmas cards or some can be re-used as gift tags next tracksuit (named)
year. Also in the UK, we have enjoyed about 8 million Christmas trees, most of
which will be thrown away in January, generating over 12,000 tonnes of rub-
bish. Real Christmas trees can be turned into valuable compost. If your council
collects garden waste (e.g., from a green wheelie bin) chop your tree up and
put it out for collection.
Thank you.

PRE-PREp NEWS
It’s good to see all the children back at school after
the Christmas holiday and looking forward to all the
new term has to offer.
The ‘big freeze’ is set to continue for a few days and
certainly January and February are normally the
coldest months of the year, so please ensure your 8R Mary Reynolds
child is well insulated against the elements by hav-
ing named navy coats, scarves, hats and gloves to wear when playing 8E Nicola Borkan
outside.
Photographs from the Christmas Plays are now being displayed in the 8W Azeez Al-Humaidhi
Pre-Prep Department so please come along and take a look when you
get the opportunity. 7H Max Bowles
Many thanks for all the diaries and reading undertaken during the holi-
days. It has been most interesting learning about all your Christmas ad- 7M Toby Pert
