Time Capsule Competition Winners!
Back in March, when the schools were fully open to all year groups, pupils at St Joseph's Primary School in Barking were set a challenge to create a document about living in Barking - in the past, present or future! Each year group had a different theme:
Reception - a poster about St Joseph's School
Years 1&2 - an acrostics poem about St Joseph's School
Year 3 - a diary entry about their experiences of Barking today
Year 4 - a prayer to St Ethelburga (Barking's Saxon past)
Year 5 - art work on Barking in the future
Year 6 - a letter to future generations of Barking residents
Barking, like the rest of the world has been very different since March, despite the changes to school and our every day lives, many pupils completed their entries - which were all great and will all buried in the Time Capsule next term!
The pupils' work was photographed first, so we can display it on our National Lottery Heritage Funded - Barking abbey and town centre heritage project's web page and we will celebrate the winners in each category - a printable Amazon Voucher should be on its way to you guys - well done to you all!
We may never know how many years it will be, before future Barking residents unearth your treasures, in the time capsule, but we can all enjoy what you produced!
