School bury time capsule at nearby housing development to mark 80th anniversary of VE Day

The visit hosted 22 pupils, as they placed letters and posters into the time capsule, which they helped bury with Dandara’s on site team. The letters written by the pupils described a snapshot of their lives in the present day for future generations to uncover.

Dandara’s Golwg Gwendraeth development is located near Kidwelly, a historic town that played a pivotal role in the War efforts as part of a larger network of military installations and training areas in south west Wales. Drawing inspiration from this local history, pupils also partook in a poster competition during the visit, showcasing how the Second World War is remembered in Wales.

The project was the third workshop hosted at Golwg Gwendraeth as part of the year-long partnership. The collaboration kick started with a planting session in March, where pupils had the chance to plant a selection of wildlife seeds on the development, followed by an Easter egg trail around the development in April.

Sara Taylor, Sales Director at Dandara Wales & West, commented: “We were honoured to welcome Carway School back to Golwg Gwendraeth for this special VE Day celebration. It was endearing to see their letters and posters, which showed real thought and commemoration for the special heroes who served our country. This time capsule project demonstrates the importance of VE Day and marks a key point in Welsh history, and we are proud to help create a lasting tribute to those who served during the Second World War.”

Eliza Davies, Teacher at Carway Primary School, added: “Our pupils were thrilled to take part in this special event with Dandara. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn more about the Second World War, connect with local history, and express themselves through creative work. The time capsule project really captured their imagination, and they were proud to contribute something that future generations might one day discover. We are grateful to Dandara for inviting us back and supporting such an enriching experience.”
