Burying The Time Capsule

Howick Primary School turned 50 years old last term and had a special jubilee celebration.
We have been learning about school in the olden days and comparing this to our school today.

Our big thinking questions for our Connections topic were:

How are things linked?

How are things the same or different?

How are we connected to people from the past?

Everybody in the whole school wrote a letter to themselves to put in the time capsule.

Then we had a special ceremony to bury the time capsule. It is going to be buried for 50 years. 

When we are 64 years old we are going to come back to school to dig up the time capsule and read our letters that we wrote to ourselves when we were 5 years old! Wow!

Today Howick Primary School is going to bury the time capsule. When we get older we can dig it up and you can read my work. I feel excited.  By Ashton 

First we watched the man put a frisbee in. Next he put a school uniform in and our letters. I will dig up the time capsule in 50 years. I will feel happy like the song happy.  By Zivan

Today we buried the time capsule in the hole and we had fun. We put a swimming cap and a frisbee and a dictionary and a ball and some reading books and our letters in. In 50 years time we will come back to school and dig it up. It will be exciting and fun and we will read our letters to everyone. Howick Primary School will be old and we will be old.  By Silas
