History - Titanic Workshop

Today, Year 1 were so lucky to join in with a Titanic workshop. They explored lots of artefacts, continued to learn facts about the Titanic and discussed all their knowledge on why the Titanic sank. 

We talked about some of the people that were on the Titanic and what kind of people would have been on the ship during its Maiden Voyage.
