The 'Grow With Us' campaign, initiated by UBC and Inigo, aimed to sow the seeds of entrepreneurship and teamwork among local primary schools across the UK. In this thrilling contest, students from Wootton Wawen Primary School, accompanied by their dedicated teachers, were tasked with nurturing sunflower seeds during the summer term. Their dedication and teamwork have not only resulted in towering sunflowers but also in building essential skills such as planning and cooperation.
"We are so pleased to have won the Sunflower Competition and very excited to be able to spend the vouchers on new, exciting books for our library and reading scheme," exclaimed Jessica Jones, Headteacher of Wootton Wawen Primary School. The victory will undoubtedly enrich the school's reading resources, providing students with a wide array of literature to explore.
Karen Osborne, Operations Director at UBC, expressed her delight at Wootton Wawen Primary School's victory, saying, "Their dedication to nurturing their sunflowers reflects the spirit of entrepreneurship and teamwork that we aim to instil in young minds through this initiative. Congratulations to Wootton Wawen Primary School for cultivating not only tall sunflowers but also the essential skills of planning and cooperation. This campaign has been a fantastic opportunity to connect with local schools and provide students with an exciting introduction to the world of work and entrepreneurship."
The 'Grow With Us' campaign has not only connected local schools with UBC and Inigo but also introduced young students and their families to the idea of future employment opportunities available in their communities. It has been a fun and nature-based activity, emphasizing crucial skills that students will carry with them into their futures.
