Young citizens of the future have got together to 'leave their mark' at Slough's newest building.

Children at St Mary's Church of England Primary School in the town were asked to design a 'building of the future'.

The results were put on a memory stick to be buried in a time capsule in the garden of the newly opened Curve Cultural Centre in the heart of Slough.

Plans to bury the capsule had to be delayed last Friday because of the wet weather. But the children all gathered at the Curve anyway.

They were greeted by Slough's commissioner for the environment and leisure Cllr Joginder Bal and Olly Barratt - project manager for the Morgan Sindall construction company which built the Curve.

Among the children was 11-year-old Hanah Shafiq, who had won the competition  to design a model representing Slough as it is now to go into the capsule.

Hanah came up with a design featuring five different religions.

She said: "I wanted it to symbolise the fact that Slough is peaceful, full of different people from different backgrounds."

Councillor Joginder Bal, said: "With the hugely successful opening of the Curve now behind us we wanted to ensure we capture the moment and keep the past alive for future generations. What better way to do this than to bury a time capsule full of items that represent our memories and traditions."

Pat Burke, recently retired teacher in charge of the library at St Mary's, said the school had been closely involved with the Curve.

She said: "The children have benefitted from learning about how the structure was designed and built and produced some very interesting art and design work.

"Links with the Curve will continue with visits by classes to the library and involvement in events."
