Mrs Campbell and Miss Anderson have been overwhelmed by the amazing reproductions of ‘Titanic’ cabins which were produced by Primary 5 this term.
Every one which was brought in to school seemed to contain even more detail than the last, from teeny-weeny bowler hats to clocks showing the exact time the ship went down to beautifully tiled Edwardian bathrooms. It was clear that the children loved learning about life aboard the iconic ship and they were fascinated (and a bit scared!) to learn about its sad end. The children also focused on the class system in place during this time and they learned about the impact this had on the unfortunate passengers of Titanic; the number of 3rd class passengers who lost their lives greatly outweighing those in 2nd or 1st class.
Hopefully you can see from our photographs the level of detail included in some of these amazing cabins, with some children choosing to recreate the stark austerity of steerage and others opting for the opulence of 1st class. We know that these creations sometimes need a bit of adult help, so thanks again to all the children (and their helpers) for their amazing creativity – well done!
