The time capsule idea was part of Ashley and Beckys’ inquiry on Harewood’s History. Ashley and Becky are both in Yr 4- 9 years old.
They researched the time capsules that were discovered after the Christchurch earthquake and decided it was a great idea for Harewood School.
Mr Ambler, a plumber, donated the time capsule.
They discussed where it could go with the builder Des who was building the new lunch area.
The class took a vote and it was decided that it would be dug up again in 50 years time- that will be Harewood School’s 200th birthday. They hope that the children from Harewood School in 50 years time will be excited about opening the capsule and that it will help them learn about life in 2012.
This was very interesting to read and you girls did such a good job preparing and getting this all ready for the jubilee. Well done!
