Year 2 went to the SeaCity Museum as part of their new History unit “Titanic: tragedy or Triumph?” They had a busy day exploring the museum, driving the ship, loading the engines with coal, sending messages with morse code, hearing eye witness accounts and looking at real artefacts rescued from the ship! They then had a great workshop led by Andy from the museum where we decided who deserved to be on a lifeboat, we explored how many water tight compartments needed to be flooded to sink, looked at more artefacts and matched smells and pictures to different parts of the boats. What a great, busy day!
 

Did you know…?
The 4th chimney was added to the boat to make it look better. It wasn’t connected to the boiler room! It also helped save many people as it had a ladder connected from the bottom sections of the boats to the top deck.
