This week in assembly, we buried a centenary time capsule. This was generously donated by parents to mark 100 years of Great Ballard. All of our classes and the school council have spent time considering which items they would like to place into the capsule which will sum up the spirit of the school for future generations of pupils. It has been an excellent exercise in considering what is unique about GB and bringing the whole school together in a collective enterprise.
