Jamie's Family Treasure


Jamie brought his great grandfather's pocket watch to school, it has been passed down from his great grandfather to his grandfather to his dad. Jamie doesn't know if one day it will be given to him. The watch is 70 years old. It is a serviceman's watch.
Pocket watches were kept in a man's pocket and there was a chain to attach it to the shirt.
Jamie's grandfather's pocket watch is a treasure. The watch has never stopped ticking. It makes a lovely tick tock sound. This watch is 'ultra, ultra, ultra special to Jamie's dad'. Jamie doesn't know why, but we think the watch might remind Jamie's dad of his Grandad (Jamie's great grandad).
