Artistic youngsters from a Chester primary school have created pieces of work representing life in 60 years’ time to place in a time capsule on the site of a new residential and nursing home.
Children from St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School in Blacon let their imaginations run wild to paint futuristic creations for a time capsule to bury in the gardens of Upton Dene Residential and Nursing Home in Caldecott Close on Tuesday (January 12).
Jay Ghomo and Grace Hankin, both 11, visited the flagship Sanctuary Care home with artwork they created.
Flying cars and robots
Both pupils envisaged cars that could fly, with Grace picturing trains being driven by robots.
Jay, meanwhile, thought there would be metallic birds that fly around, carrying people with them.
Teaching assistant Anne Ellis accompanied Jay and Grace on their return visit to the site.
She said: “They really enjoyed the project and we are very proud that our school has been chosen to be a part of it.
“A lot of time has been spent thinking about what kind of technology we will have as things move at such a fast pace.
"The children have also been talking about the kind of food we will eat and believe we will be teleported everywhere instead of walking!”
Upton Dene Residential and Nursing Home - which provides residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care - has been built by Sanctuary Group and is run by Sanctuary Care.
Manager Hilary Price said: “We were thrilled to welcome the children along to show them how beautiful our home looks following their visit last year when it was still being built.
“The creativity and imagination shown in their artwork is really impressive - whoever opens the time capsule in 60 years’ time is in for a treat.”
