11This year has been a great one for the Eco Committee. The year began with us winning the Regional Modeshift Stars Education award for Buckinghamshire. A great start! Soon afterwards, the Year 1 to 6 Eco Committee went out litter picking in the Beaconsfield New Town. Next, we went around the roads by Junior House with a Thames Valley Police Officer to put warnings on cars parked illegally at pickup time. At the Christmas Fair, the Eco committee made delicious cookies to sell at our first ever stall! We were raising money for the NSPCC and the Parents%u2019 Association. The biscuits and cookies were enjoyed by all, and we sold every one of them. On the 10th June, we started our Bike to School Week and on the 14th June the Year 6 Eco Prefects handed out pastries to anyone who came into school on two wheels! We also had two very successful %u2018walk to school%u2019 weeks in which the girls who parked and strode or just walked were rewarded with a nice snack when they arrived at school.We also decided to join The Friend of the Honeybee organization and they sent us a lovely certificate of membership.Finally, we put up battery boxes in Junior House and Upper School; it was very successful and so far we have almost filled up the whole box.It has been a very successful year for the Eco Committee and, to finish off, we would like to say a big thank you to all the members of the Eco Committee Years 1 to 6 and especially to Miss Walker, Mrs Avery, Mrs Hanford-Dale and Ms Kemp for helping us to make everything possible.
