Bag2School Collection 13th November
Our next fundraising collection through Bag2School will be on Wednesday 13 November 2019
Bag2School are the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 2001 they have now paid out over £15 million.
As well as raising vitally needed funds for our school, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 1,081,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, bags, soft toys, curtains and bedding (not duvets or pillows). We will receive £500 per tonne or £0.50/kg which will be a great boost for our fundraising. In addition it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!
Bag2School will be collecting from our school on Wednesday 13th November. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to school from the day before or by 9 am on the day and help us have a really good collection.
Zoolab Workshops
The children had a fantastic time at the Zoolab workshops on Tuesday 9th July. Woodpeckers learnt all about exotic pets and KS2 had a virtual journey through the layers of the rainforest. The children were able to handle and stroke many of the creatures, which included a giant snail, millipede, snake, daigu and gecko. Here are some photos of the visit
Crich Tramway Museum Visit
Woodpeckers and Y3 had a great day out at Crich Tramway museum on Monday 8th July. They had a ride on a selection of different trams and were complimented on how well they changed the seating position of the trams for the return journeys! They enjoyed a sculpture trail walk, picnic lunch in the park and sampled an ice cream and some old fashioned sweets from the sweet shop.
Red Nose Day 2019
Our Red Nose, non-uniform mask day was a great success. Along with our sweepstake we raised £72 for Comic Relief. Thank you to everyone who joined in and contributed to our fundraising. Here are some photographs of the children wearing their fantastic masks.
