Organised by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, the Lincolnshire Show Schools' Challenge is open to all schools, early year establishments and external clubs, groups and associations in Greater Lincolnshire.
There are ten challenges to choose from and their focus is on inspiring young people to gain a better understanding of Lincolnshire's rich agricultural history, it's horticulture and land-based activities. To be involved in the Schools' Challenge, choose from one of our exciting challenges to join us at the Lincolnshire Show.
The challenges are designed to link food, farming, the local community, the environment and sustainability to the National Curriculum and we hope you enjoy embedding the challenge projects into your learning. Schools’ Challenge is student led and encourages them to research their ideas and present their findings at The Lincolnshire Show, competing for Schools’ Challenge Champion.
Each challenge has a suggested key for the type of project:
- Potential to simplify for Early Years and SEN
- A longer project involving planting/growing
- A quicker project
All challenges can be extended or simplified, get in touch for support.
We welcome all to take part from early years, primary, secondary, special schools as well as external clubs, groups, and associations. Why not enter as part of a post SATs project, take a look at our LAS Schools Challenge Leaflet to see how you can work a quicker project into the last term of school.
We have a Launch Event on 31st January 2024, 4pm-7pm where you can find out more and gain valuable tips and advice!
