Autumn 1
This half term our topic is 'The Unsinkable Ship.' We will explore the events of the Titanic, look at where it was constructed, what its planned route was, explore what life was like on board and look at the different theories about who was to blame. As part of our English we will write poems based on the Titanic, write newspaper reports about the events and also write a discussion text about whether we would choose a cruise for our next holiday.
