Lincoln Minster School wins top<br />
platinum award for Lincolnshire<br />
Lincoln Minster School has been awarded a<br />
prestigious platinum award by the Woodland<br />
Trust for getting involved in green activities<br />
including tree planting, visiting a local<br />
woodland, reducing carbon emissions and<br />
being a woodland ambassador.<br />
The Green Tree Schools initiative, offers the<br />
opportunity to bring the great outdoors, wildlife and<br />
green issues into the classroom.<br />
The Pre-Preparatory school won the awards for<br />
participating in green activities, both in and out<br />
of the classroom. Pupils made bug hotels and a<br />
hedgehog house in their designated Outdoor Learning<br />
area, visited local Chambers Wood, worked on a Wild<br />
Trails Project identifying animals and grouping them<br />
together, and joined in various other Woodland Trust<br />
activities.<br />
Becky Skelton, Outdoor Learning Lead at the<br />
school, said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed all of the<br />
activities. The children have been really motivated<br />
and enthusiastic, especially knowing the end goal<br />
was to achieve the platinum award. They particularly<br />
enjoyed being able to photograph our school grounds<br />

and nature from different perspectives.... a birds<br />
eye view and a bugs eye view being particular<br />
favourites.”<br />
The Woodland Trust’s vision is for a UK rich in<br />
native woods and trees for people and wildlife.<br />
The charity is dedicated to creating new woodland<br />
with help from communities and schools, as well<br />
as protecting and restoring ancient woodland for<br />
future generations to cherish.<br />
