Pupils bury snapshot of school life

A time capsule containing artefacts from the present day has been buried in the foundations of the new primary school currently being constructed in Johnston. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Pupils from the school visited the building site off Langford Road and buried the container with the help of contractors, WB Griffiths. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The contents will provide future generations with a snapshot of day-to-day life of the present school in nearby Cranham Park including photographs, a DVD, examples of the work of pupils as well as a report compiled by the governing body. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The £6.4 million school is due to open later this year. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
