Newport pupils' time capsule shows their dreams for future
Pupils at Malpas Court Primary School in Newport buried the capsule, designed to be opened in 20 years, as part of a creative project exploring identity and aspirations.
The project was led by former pupil and photojournalist Glenn Edwards, who collaborated with the children on a photography and storytelling project.
It focused on the Welsh concept of 'cynefin,' meaning a sense of home or belonging.
Mr Edwards suggested the idea of a time capsule to capture the children's dreams and reflections.
Aalayah-Mai, a Year 6 pupil, said: "I want to be a heart surgeon and help anyone that needs it."
Lewis, in Year 5, said: "When I grow up I want to be an accountant because I'm pretty smart at maths and I think it would be a good experience."
Alfie, also in Year 5, said: "I would love to work for Formula One and maybe be a driver."
OrlaRose Cook, another Year 5 pupil, said: "I would like to be a wildlife photographer."
Her entry in the time capsule described her hopes for the future.
She said: "All I want is a good family and a white Range Rover."
The capsule includes photographs, written aspirations, and personal reflections on what 'cynefin' means to each child.
It will remain buried for two decades, offering the pupils a chance to one day revisit their childhood ambitions and see how their journeys have unfolded.
