YOUNGSTERS at a Tyneside school have left a history lesson for the pupils of the future.
A time capsule was buried by pupils at Archbishop Runcie Church of England First School in Newcastle on yesterday.
The capsule was placed in the foundations of the school's new nursery classroom.
The nursery is due to open in September and everyone at the school is excited at the prospect.
Among the items which were buried in the capsule were coins and stamps, a school photograph, examples of the children's work, a school uniform, a prospectus and an inspection report.
Other items included details of the school's history, including a photograph of Archbishop Runcie opening the school in 1988.
Headteacher Julie Wilks said: "We wanted to find some way of involving everyone connected with the school in a celebration to mark the new classroom.
