Engineering consultancy MLM Group has begun a pilot scheme to involve primary age pupils in learning about ‘green' issues.

The company set a challenge for pupils of Suffolk's ‘Greenest School' - Cliff Lane Primary in Ipswich. The whole school was invited to make a model of the ‘School of the Future', using only recycled materials.

Both Cliff Lane Primary and MLM Group are committed to the initiative ‘Suffolk - Creating the Greenest County'.

The winners of the competition were Chiara Sarro-Haire and Kimberley Bigg. Every member of the class was rewarded with a trip to the Suffolk Show, where the winning design was on display at MLM Group's stand in the Green Village.

The school's Eco-coordinator, Mr Kell said ‘It's fantastic to see excitement and enthusiasm for environmental issues rewarded'.

The school's Head Teacher, Mr Owain Richards said ‘MLM Group's direct involvement gave us all another great opportunity to think about ways to be greener. Perhaps the winning model for ‘School of the Future' gave MLM Group a few ideas too!'
