Hiding Time Capsules within the school walls
On Friday 12th February our children placed a series of themed time capsules within one of the school's walls.
The wall now contains a time capsule from each year group, from Nursery to Year 6, each containing photos, mementos and letters written by the children to their future selves.
Miss Addyman said “It’s more important than ever to encourage our children to keep positive and keep thinking about the future. Once we can all safely return to the school, our children will be able to feel - just from looking at the walls - that they have the power to make an impact.
“It is a creative activity which brings the whole school together. We love doing activities like this as it gets our children to learn and develop in innovative ways.”
The opportunity came about due to current renovation works at the school, where builders asked if the children would like to leave time capsules before the walls are filled in over the half-term.
Miss Rhodes, Principal, also commented: “We love how the idea came about and how spontaneously it has developed. It is a real testament to the community we have where everyone, even building contractors, want to do the best for our children.
“This will give our children something to hope for and will encourage them to start developing ideas about who they want to be and what impact they want to make on their school and community.
“I joined the school recently and my experience so far has been that our children have many hopes and ideas about the future, especially since the school joined the White Rose Academies Trust. So, it is important to encourage our children to take an active part in the future of the school.”
