20th April 2020 - Week 1 - Ship of Dreams
Our Year 6 Topic for this term is the Titanic!
Throughout the term we will be learning about the Titanic, finding out why it was built, where it came from, where it was going, and what happened to it! We will be exploring the 'unsinkable' ship in all areas of the curriculum and becoming experts in this piece of history. As we do so, please use Seesaw to keep in touch, send some suggestions of interesting parts of this piece of history you might want to learn more about, and especially remember to send some pictures of you learning and working from home! Some of the links below will be password protected, I have sent you this on Seesaw! |
