Bags 2 Schools
Thu 08 Oct 2020We are pleased to announce that Ripley Nursery School has organised a clothes & shoe collection with Bag2School in order to raise funds to enhance our outdoor areas.
Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 2001 it has now paid out over £36 million.
As well as raising vitally needed funds for Ripley Nursery 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 350,000 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, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to http://uk.bag2school.com/ for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
You can use any 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 Ripley Nursery School on Tuesday 24th November at 9am. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the main office either any time on Monday 23rd November or Tuesday 24th November before 9am and help us have a really good collection.
Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
Yours faithfully
Ripley Nursery School

Allotment News
Fri 02 Oct 2020Today we went to harvest the pumpkins from our allotment. They have been growing for nearly seven months!!
Mr. Flude, who helps to look after our allotment, reminded us to pick the pumpkins before the weather gets too cold – a quick frost would damage our crop.
We were amazed to find;
one enormous pumpkin,
one large pumpkin,
one knobbly pumpkin and
three small pumpkins.
We needed help to pick up the biggest pumpkins.
We picked some lovely green and red apples from our apple tree, put all our produce in the wheel barrow and wheeled it back to school.
Our friends at school were very excited to see our wheel barrow full of pumpkins and apples.
We are thinking about what we can do with our pumpkins next week, any ideas?
