Time Capsule Story

Time capsule writing structure



I wonder what Christchurch will be like when the time capsule is opened and my writing is read?
I am writing this in October 2017. My name is Gloria and I am a 9 year old girl in the Year 2017 at Sockburn School.


I am the youngest child in my family.  I have one brother.   Actually I quite like my brother, even when he call me a baby .  As well as people in our household we have one pet cat (well actually it's my brother's cat)…  I help look after Spinks (the cat) by feeding it brushing it and all that.

You might be interested to know what sorts of things I enjoy doing.
I really enjoy reading Geronimo Stilton.  I have reading this for 2 years. My fav colour is aqua.
Some other things I enjoy doing in my spare time at home are practicing erhu (a chinese instrument), watching Doraemon (a chinese cartoon) and talking with mum.

After school I go to OSCAR.
The best thing about this is they give you afternoon tea, and at 5:00 if there is enough food they will give us a snack.


By the time you read this I guess school will have changed a lot. At the moment we are in the old Sockburn School classrooms. They are made of wood and have a wooden deck all along the front. We have 92 students in our area which is called Kahikatea. This is for Year 4, 5 and 6 students.  We only have 2 exercise books. One for maths and one for everything. Most of our work is done on Chromebooks which are a lot like laptops.  I think having my own chromebook is easier because I can do my work at home.  The thing I am best at at school is math because I have a friend in math called Lola and she is better that me so she has helped me a lot, specially on multiplication



I wonder what schools will look like in the future? Next year Sockburn School becomes Wigram Primary School and we will be moving to a brand new school with new buildings and new everything.
I hope at the new school we have awesome teachers (even though most teachers are amazing not trying to be offensive).

I guess that in the future, when the time capsule is opened schools will have like floating screens, flying scooters, whiteboards that are touchscreen and all that.

Maybe, instead of walking, scootering, biking driving to school in the  family car kids will get to school by hoverboards, auto bike
Some of the jobs people might do in the future will be creating these things.  

Ending
Maybe I will be there when the time capsule is opened and kids of the future will be able to ask me all about being a kid in 2017.

Create Developing New Knowledge- a famous busker- Bruce Springsteen T4 W1

Create Developing New Knowledge- a famous busker- Bruce Springsteen


!!!Facts!!!
  1. Bruce has fans in high places. Barack Obama has said that there are "a handful of people who enter into your lives through their music and tell the American people's story. Bruce Springsteen is one of those people." He's also said that he ran for President because he couldn't be Bruce Springsteen.
  2. Another fan was the late Joe Strummer. The Clash frontman was asked about the Boss for a TV documentary in mid-90s and he responded with a fax that said, among other things, "Bruce is great"¦if you don't agree with that, you're a pretentious Martian from Venus" and "The DJ puts on "˜Racing in the Streets' and life seems worth living again."
  3. Dr. Ruth Westheimer once visited Bruce backstage at a show. She told him she liked what he said in his songs about love and sex, but she wished he'd mention contraception once in a while.
  4. The late Warren Zevon was also Bruce's friend, fan and collaborator. When Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, he refused any treatment he thought would incapacitate him and headed to the studio—with plenty of friends in tow—to record his final album, The Wind. Springsteen provided background vocals and electric guitar for two songs, one of which won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. Springsteen later appeared on a tribute album to Zevon, performing his song "My Ride's Here."
  5. Bruce had a bit of a hard time in school. When he was in third grade, a nun stuffed him into a garbage can under her desk, claiming that's "where he belonged." Years later, at Ocean County College, legend has it that his fellow students petitioned the administration to have him expelled.
  6. Of course, he had his fans, too. Some of the girls in his high school approached the administration with a petition demanding that Bruce's band at the time, the Castiles, be given more attention and respect.
  7. When the Springsteens were living in Freehold, New Jersey, their house was near a Nestle's factory. When the wind was just right, Bruce has said, he could smell chocolate all day long.
  8. The first song a young Bruce learned play on the guitar was the Beatles' "Twist and Shout."
  9. There really is an E Street. It runs northeast through the New Jersey shore town of Belmar. According to Springsteen lore, the band took its name from the street because original keyboard player David Sancious' mother lived there and allowed the band to rehearse in her house.
  10. The titular avenue of "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" is also in Belmar. [Image courtesy of NJ.com (link).
  11. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" was guitarist Steven Van Zandt's debut with the E Street Band. He came up with the idea for the horn intro and became the de facto arranger when he sang the line for the horn section.
  12. The working title of Darkness on the Edge of Town was American Madness, also the title of a 1932 Frank Capra movie. Early copies of the album were mistakenly released inside covers for Barbra Streisand's Songbird.
