Time Capsule Buried at Sherborne Primary School
Children from Sherborne Primary School have been busy burying a time capsule on the school site. The school is currently building a new multi-functional Community Hub building, and the time capsule will be buried alongside this.
The time capsule was given to the school by Sherborne Town Council to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee and the subsequent King’s Coronation, alongside a tree to commemorate the events. Sherborne Primary’s time capsule includes letters written by pupils in Year 1 and 2, detailing their daily lives and favourite toys.
Head Pupils Matilda and Emerson said “We hope we’ve captured the essence of childhood in our current life and times, and this time capsule will preserve a snapshot of the school community for posterity. Buried beneath layers of earth, the time capsule awaits its eventual discovery, poised to unveil a piece of Sherborne’s history to future generations. Whether unearthed by archaeologists or stumbled upon by curious minds, it holds the promise of connecting the past with the present, offering insights into the lives of those who walked the halls of Sherborne Primary School”.
