LETTER TO FUTURE CHILDREN FROM TODAY’S CHILDREN
North East Wales Archive Service has launched a campaign for school-aged children and young people to write a ‘Letter to future children’ to explain how the current lockdown has changed their lives. Details are set out below.
To take part, Write a letter, to be read by children in 100 years’ time, to tell them how your life has changed since you were sent home from school.
IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT:
What are you doing every day?
What is it like being at home all the time without seeing your friends and extended family?
Are you having to go to school, and, if so, is it strangely quiet? How are things different?
How is your family coping with working at home or going out to do essential work?
Above all, tell the future children what you are missing most and enjoying most!
Please include a drawing, showing how life looks to you at this strange time in history!
All letters will be included in the ‘Letter to Future Children’ Archive and preserved for future generations to read. The winner will receive a prize of a £20 Amazon Voucher and have their letter shared online.
Email your letters, with your name and address, to:
[email protected] for Flintshire residents, and [email protected] for Denbighshire residents.
