World Around Us Topic - Titanic
During Term 2, we would be learning about the Titanic as part of our World Around Us studies. Unfortunately, we are unable to do this because of lockdown. However, I have provided suggested topic-related activities and attached some links below to websites which I think you might find useful if you want to carry out some learning of your own based on our topic. *Please note, these activities are NOT compulsory.
I would love to see some pictures of your topic studies; please feel free to email those to me.
