The Box of Memories
The Box of Memories by Elise, Mya, Tayissa and Jasmine, encourages us to reflect on key moments in Peter's journey and wonder. How did Peter actually feel as he buried the box and then as he digs it up again? How did those people feel trudging through the rain?
Elise, Mya, Tayissa and Jasmine made and created physical representations of these key moments and then used the objects and images to help reflect on the importance of these moments for Peter.
