Be Proud. Be Eco!

Dear All Paxtoners,

I have just walked past the battery collection boxes and added the batteries from the array of toys my children have. The Paxton box already has the most in so I know we can win this and as a Gold event, we could really do with the points!

You will also see the bins with the different signs on. Why not make sure that all of your rubbish goes in the correct bin and if you see more rubbish pick that up too! Its a win, win situation as we will win the points for Paxton as well as making Wildern a lovely place to be.

So make us all proud over the Eco fortnight and get involved!

Mrs Floyd

ECO Fortnight 22nd April – 3rd May


During this fortnight there are many chances to win house points through ECO themed competitions. The following competitions are:

Battery Collection- During the two weeks of the ECO fortnight each tutor group will be able to collect old batteries for their house. The batteries will be placed in your house collection box which will be in the Dart. The house with the most batteries at the end of ECO fortnight will win 400 house points.

Litter Challenge- In the Piazza the bins will be coloured to correspond with the houses. At the end of each day the amount of rubbish collected by each house will be judged and the house that has collected the most rubbish will win 400 house points.

As well as all this we are running SWITCH IT OFF fortnight.

This is where members of the ECO committee will go around classes during breaktimes and lunchtimes checking for lights, projectors etc that have been left on. This is important as the more we switch off the more energy we save! Did you know Wildern creates 60 Tonnes worth of CO2 each year!

Thank you so much for supporting us
