 Our children are living through history right now. Some ideas for a ‘Time Capsule’ which they could keep
in their ‘My KSP Days’ folder (in a sealed A4 envelope) are:
1. Write a letter to themselves. Tell their ages, who their friends are, favourite TV show, song, book
etc. Write about what’s going on in their own words. Tell their future selves how they feel. Talk
about what they would like to be when they grow up and 5 things they want to do when they are
an adult.
2. If it’s safe to get a newspaper, cut out articles that they think would be important for their future
selves, or print them from an online paper.
3. Draw a picture of their family as it is now.
4. Take some pictures of today and print them out.
5. Their daily diary.
