Aylesbury school kids bury 2020 time capsule
It's been hidden away for 50 years' time
Children in Aylesbury have buried a time capsule, reflecting their lives in 2020.
It's filled with booklets and letters from the kids at Broughton Infant School, as well as Aylesbury's Mayor and MP Greg Smith.
It's been hidden away on Kingsbrook and should be opened in 50 years' time.
Barratt and David Wilson Homes are behind the project.
Children at the school included a collection of booklets which represented their life during lockdown and over the past year of the pandemic.
This involved them writing letters to the finders of the time capsule, as well as asking them to interview their family members on how the pandemic affected them.
Other items buried included a local newspaper with the date on it, a house brochure, as well as donations made by Greg Smith, MP for Buckingham and Councillor Mike Smith, Mayor of Aylesbury.
Karly Williams, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Thames, said:
"We enlisted the help of pupils from Broughton Community Infant School to preserve the past of Aylesbury and the past year of the pandemic in the form of a time capsule burial.
"It will be interesting for those that open the time capsule in 50 years' time to see not only how modern-day items have changed, but how Aylesbury and Kingsbrook have changed over the years."
