Titanic

 We have just established a blog site for the children within the Wallace cluster to access. This site will allow the children to ask an ‘expert’ questions on the Titanic and also allow them to showcase some of their wonderful work through their own school pages. We would also like it to be used as a place where the children can communicate with one another and share their own unique experience of the Titanic through learning logs. Just click on the link below to be transported to the site.

The Titanic Blog Site

Please find below some resources that will aid and support you in the delivery of the ‘Titanic.’ We hope to constantly update this resource with not only material from Elaine but also material that you generate throughout this ‘Big Task’.
