SPHE:
This week I am encouraging you to create a time capsule,
documenting things about you and your community during the Covid-
19 pandemic. I know some of you have started creating your own time
capsule already. Well done!
The idea of a time capsule is to record a moment in time which
you can look back on in years to come.
I have added a few pages here to give you ideas but I can email
an entire pack to anyone who would like more.
