• Your group will be putting forward a collection of 4 ideas – you have until the end of Thursday LS3 to decide on these, consider the past, present and future and what form you want them to be stored in the time capsule – text and or diagrams

• On Friday you will be asked to present your ideas to the rest of your Learning Team and as a group you will vote for one to go forward to the rest of the school. The one selected is to be emailed to jseymour@honywoodschool.com that day.

What next?• On Monday 19th you will be back in your tutor group

where you will be emailed the best 45 collection of ideas.

• On Tuesday 20th and Thursday 22nd March during LS3, you will be asked to vote for the best one.

• The tutor will then email these suggestions to jseymour@honywoodschool.com who will then pass them on to the Learner Leadership Team, who will judge the best collection on Monday 26th March.
