Time Capsule For Múinteoir Ray’s final lesson he made a time capsule. A time capsule is a container that holds items, such as photos, newspapers, letters, and anything else that can show people in the future what it was like now. It’s usually hidden away so you or someone else can find it again in years to come. You could hide it for a year, five years, ten years, there’s no time limit! Use a shoebox to put all your items into or use something more weather-resistant if you are hiding it outdoors.

What will you put in your time capsule? Here are a few ideas – *It’s a good idea to leave notes with your objects, so whoever opens the capsule (even if it’s you) knows what that object is and why it was put in. Check out RTÉ Home School Hub everyday on RTÉ 2, RTÉ Player & rte.ie/learn.
