GOING GREEN FOR THE QUEEN

School to celebrate Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

The children and staff of Saint Nicholas’ Catholic Primary School in Liverpool enjoyed a very special assembly led by Colonel Charles Hillock, one of the deputy lieutenants of Merseyside.

At the assembly the children learnt all about the Queen’s forthcoming Platinum Jubilee, which takes place on Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June 2022. The Colonel also spoke to the children about the life and the work of Her Majesty’s 70 years of service to the nation at assembly, and as one of the schools taking part in the Queen’s Green Canopy Project, a special tree planting ceremony took part in the school grounds. This is one of fifteen trees that will be planted at the school. Headteacher, Mr Martin Davies said: “This was a fabulous assembly full of information about our monarchy, its values and what it stands for. Then being able to play our part in developing the Queen’s Green Canopy Project straight afterwards was another fantastic learning opportunity the children thoroughly enjoyed.

“We are proud to be one of the schools taking part in the Queen’s Green Canopy Project. This is a massive national effort for everyone to plant more individual trees and to expand our woodlands.”
