P7 Enjoy 50th Anniversary

23rd Mar 2018

Both P7 classes had a great time on Friday 23rd March as the school officially celebrated its 50th anniversary. Before the day we had researched aspects of life in 1967/8 on the topics of 'Fashion', 'Food', 'Music', 'Film', 'Famous People', 'Events' and of course 'School'. Then we joined together in groups to pool our research and produce posters of our findings. Finally, we told the rest of the class about what we found out, so that everyone had a good idea of what life in 1967 had been like.

Also during the day, we heard a talk about how the Camphill area had gained its name, cut (and ate) a celebration cake, had a special 'picnic' lunch, watched the 'Time Capsule' and beech tree being put into the ground, planted a bulb each, watched pictures of the original Camphill school building and the move to the current one and received a commemorative medal. All in all a very busy day!

As our contribution to the 'Time Capsule', the P7s decided to add a photo of their classes, a copy of today's newspaper, a copy of the 'School Daze' play, songs and cast list (from our February production), an outline of the school's warning cards system, coins, lists of popular names, music etc from 2017/18 and a message to those who eventually unearth the capsule. Hopefully some of the children will still be around the local area and have family attending the school when it is dug up and will be able to explain all about life in 2017/18!
