Virtual Time Capsule, by Mrs Roberts
Date: 22nd May 2020 @ 9:44am
Over the last 8 weeks, we have been gathering photographs and videos to help us create a virtual time capsule. We feel that although this has been a very unusual time, it is something which will go down in history. As a school, we want to remember this so that ,in years to come, we can learn from it. Thank you again to all parents who sent photographs in of children working from home.
We think this really captures 'A day in the life of St. George's during Covid 19'.
