The Titanic

THE TITANIC

This term we have been learning about The Titanic. Our first group task was to create a huge replica of the ship (which you can see above). Each group had been given a section of the ship they had to work on to together.

Keira, "We had to draw and paint the bottom of the ships hull and finish it off with red. I enjoyed the painting part the most!"

Finn, "We designed the funnels on small pieces of paper first. Then we cut bigger piecesof paper and started to paint them.  After that we worked on the smoke using pencil and charcoal. Finally we stuck it on to the boat and put it all together. I think our group worked very well and even when we ran into some problems we were able to fix them together."

Jerry, "We worked on the windows and the decking. There were quite a lot of windows so it took quite a while to finish. I helped Jude and Sipun with the balconys.  There was quite a lot of painting to do and it was quite hard to keep it neat.  Our group worked together well because everyone helped each other and everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing."

Emily, "I thought our group worked well because we agreed on what we were going to do. We didn't just go ahead without asking each other. We did have some disagreements but we ended up sorting it out in the end and we ended up working really well together."


As the groups were working on building the ship they were also using an interactive timeline in order to learn more about the actual building of the ship.
