>> Pupils at Somersham Primary School have buried a time capsule as a tribute to a teacher's 30 years in the classroom.
The capsule, containing an edition of the Town Crier, photographs and writing by the pupils and some school uniform, was buried under the Meridian Line, which passes through the school playing field, at a special ceremony for Helen Cole.

The ceremony, part of a series of celebrations organised for Mrs Cole, took place last Thursday (July 17) and was attended by children, staff and invited guests who knew Mrs Cole as a work colleague or as their teacher.

Other events marking her retirement were a tea party organised by pupils and a meal and barn dance during their annual trip to Herefordshire.

Mrs Cole, pictured with pupils, said: "Our collection of artefacts will give future generations of children at Somersham a picture of what life is like today, and is a lovely way to bid farewell after such a long and happy association with the school."

>> A time capsule has been sealed in the roof of a new building at Pendragon Primary School in Papworth Everard.
A competition to decide on the contents was won by year 2 pupil Jack Buchan. Among the items he proposed be locked into the capsule were a local and national paper, a TV magazine, petrol, shopping receipts and a school brochure.

Jack also took photos of the school and the new building to be added to the capsule.
Jack was the first person to set foot in the new extension.
He said: "I was very excited, especially when I was able to put the time capsule in the roof."

Head teacher Carol Shaw said that the capsule was "an opportunity to leave something for the future generations of Pendragon Primary School."
