A time capsule recording events during the COVID-19 pandemic has been buried at Glen Park Primary School.
The capsule was buried by Glen Park Primary’s school council, along with the PTA ‘Friends of Glen Park,’
Throughout the pandemic, pupils have been collecting a range of items and pieces of work to be part of a time capsule to be opened by Glen Park’s school council in September 2031.
Items that made it into the time capsule included diary entries of school days in lockdown, including home schooling and returning to school, newspaper reports, a timeline of the events of the pandemic and photos of the time throughout the pandemic.
Year 2 teaching assistant Kerry Wills came up with idea for a time capsule back in January 2021 when school closed for the third national lockdown. When pupils and staff returned to school in March 2021, classes reflected on their second period of home learning and came up with a list of items to inform the future pupils of Glen Park.
