Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Time Capsules

Our topic this term is 'Time Travellers'. We have been learning about the toys and games that children had long ago.

We have learned a lot through looking at real artefacts, talking to our grandparents and looking at photographs. Today we learned that there is another way to learn about the past... Time capsules!

We went on a 'treasure hunt' with a real metal detector and found two buried time capsules on our school field. Both contained interesting things from long ago and we were able to date some of the things by the coins they were buried with. Some of the toys we found were over fifty years old!

Take a look at our album...As you can see, it was a really exciting afternoon!
