Introduction to Titanic

Primary 7’s next topic is Titanic. The story of the ill-stricken ship is one that captures the imaginations of our pupils. They love learning the different facts and finding out all the trivial information about Belfast, Harland and Wolff, White Star Line, and all the different passengers. The first thing we did was recap what information we knew, and I was thoroughly impressed at the wealth of knowledge and understanding in the room. I then led pupils through a step by step 3D drawing of the ship itself, and as you can see, there are some very talented artists in the room. Pupils then thought about some questions that they would like to ask about Titanicr and from that researched different facts about Belfast’s greatest export.
