St Peter’s is bringing to an end its year of celebration to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the school.  Back in the summer term, a time capsule which was buried on the old school site in 1989 was opened in a special assembly.  This contained a list of the prices of sweets, crisps and drinks at the time, a local newspaper, and lists of children’s favourite TV shows and music groups. 

For the time capsule that was buried this month, a pupil vote led to the inclusion of the school’s Diamond Jubilee memento booklet, a whole school photo, our school uniform, stamps, coins and a photo of King Charles III.  Also included in our 2024 time capsule were letters from Year 6 about life in the school and our Diamond Jubilee celebrations, along with pictures of the summer school show The Wizard of Oz.  Each class was then asked to choose their favourite book, and a copy of each was included in the time capsule.  I wonder what the children and staff of St Peter’s will think of our choices when the capsule is dug up in 2049!
