We have now started our ‘Unsinkable Ship’ topic  and we are having an enjoyable time learning about the Titanic. We have been working very hard to recreate this amazing luxury liner in our classroom as you will see from our photos. Here are some interesting facts we now know or want to find out more about.

Lilli said: “The topic is really interesting because we’re getting to learn about a fascinating ship.”

Jayden added: “I’ve been interested in learning about the Titanic for about three years. Now I’m in P4 I want to find out why the Titanic hit the iceberg and what happened exactly.”

Emma commented: “I’ve learned that first class passengers had wonderful accommodation like private bathrooms.”

Morgan explained: “First Class passengers were very rich and posh. They were the people who were mostly saved from the disaster.”

Scott continued: “I have learned that First Class passengers had use of a swimming pool, a gymnasium and a library!”

Rubi said: “Titanic was an amazing 882 feet in length and 175 feet in height.”

Charlotte added: “The Tower Bridge in London is the same height as Titanic.”

Mitunand stated: “Travel by ships was potentially dangerous in those days and ship companies wanted to make the travel safer.”

Poppy said: “The Titanic had a crew of around 900 people.”

Dylan commented: “I like the topic because it’s fun and I like history.”

Leah explained: “It cost £872 for an exclusive First Class ticket which is estimated at £32,000 in today’s currency. It must have been very expensive.”

Millie said “I find the topic interesting because there’s so many facts to find out.”

Fiona explained:  “I found out that it took a long time to build the Titanic because it was so big.”

Ailidh commented: ” I found that there were 109 children on board.”

Kacy added: “I’m finding the Titanic topic fun and interesting.”
