Buckingham pupils plant special tree to mark Queen's Jubilee
February 24, 2022
Children from George Grenville Academy took part in a special tree planting ceremony to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee
The oldest and youngest pupils at the school, in Chandos Road, Buckingham, planted the beech sapling as part of the national "Queen's Green Canopy" project.
It is a tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee."
Staff and children gathered for the event on 17 December, and watched as the sapling was given its new home.
The whole school community will be looking after the tree – and children will measure it each year to observe how it grows as they also grow up throughout the school.
Headteacher Emma Killick said: "It is so important to take part in these events. The children can learn about how to care for the world around us, and also do something they will remember in years to come to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee."
She said the project would also inspire children to learn more about how we can look after our green spaces, forests and woodlands.
