Other Ideas

  • Have a look at the Conon Bridge School Log Book. How many subjects can you find mentioned?  Do you still study them all?
  • There have been school photographs taken for over 100 years! This year, maybe there won’t be any taken.  Why not put on your school clothes and get someone to take a picture of you to document where you were this term! Or why not see if you can contact everyone in your class and get them to send a photo.  Then you could create a class picture together.
  • Your school day at the moment is really different from normal. Try and write a school log book entry about it.
  • One of the documents we have uploaded to show you is the record of a debating society. Try and think of a subject which people might have different opinions on.  Then you take one side and ask someone in your family to take the other side.  Try and change each other’s opinions.
  • Some of the documents we hold include people writing down their memories of school.  Using our template record what your favourite subject is at school, draw a picture of you with your best friend and draw a picture of your school.
