Year 5 had a terrific Titanic Ignite day on Tuesday!
Children spent half of the day collecting lots of knowledge about the Titanic tragedy from the expert, John, who brought real artefacts from the ship and props from the film set for us to look at – he even gave away replicas of 3rd class mugs as prizes for individuals to keep!
The other half of the day was spent living the lifestyle of a passenger on board the Titanic in 1912. Children dressed up as 1st class or 3rd class passengers, listened to the music that the orchestra may have played during the voyage and cooked their own 3rd class meal – vegetable stew and dumplings! After a lot of hard work in the kitchen, they were then treated to a 1st class dessert of pears, éclairs and ice cream.
Both children and teachers had a fantastic day and we look forward to continuing our voyage over the next few weeks!
