Democracy and the Wider World
Years Five and Six have been writing formal letters this half term and have sent one to our local MP, Jason McCartney, inviting him to come along as a special guest of honour, to our tree-planting ceremony at Linthwaite Ardron.
Mr McCartney wrote to Linthwaite Ardron in the Autumn, inviting us to participate in the Queens Green Canopy Initiative, celebrating her service and legacy and asking people across the UK to plant a tree to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
School then requested a tree from the Woodland Trust charity and we are delighted to have been given fifteen trees to plant in our school grounds.

MP Jason McCartney's visit
As we mentioned earlier in the year and after writing the letter to the left, MP Jason McCartney visited school to meet our School Council and help them plant a tree, one of fifteen donated by charity The Woodland Trust.
Year Five and Six pupils had written to the MP inviting him to conduct the tree-planting ceremony, as part of the national Queen's Green Canopy initiative celebrating the Jubilee and we are delighted to say that Mr McCartney replied and did come to plant the trees donated.
School councilors quizzed the member of parliament on a number of issues, including the environment, legislation regarding smoking and drinking and even local housing and then helped him with the tree-planting.
All fifteen trees have now been planted around the school grounds and we look forward to them growing in the years to come.
