We've just received urgent news - it's been reported that the Titanic is sinking and that many people need to be rescued! Information is slowly coming in to tell us about what has happened. Acting as radio reporters, we needed to scan for the key evidence and information to use in our wireless news report. We looked at a range of primary sources such as radio messages, sketches, eye-witness reports and the ships log to find out the true story. Using our notepads, we've been making lists of all the key details.
We also managed watch a cinema newsreel that showed us what the Titanic looked like just before it sailed. We also managed to see survivors on the Carpathia. Whilst we watched, we made more notes in our notebooks to help gather potential information for our reports.
Here's some of the other sources of evidence we used to collect our ideas. What did you find out that was really important? Keep your eyes and ears peeled for our radio news reports appearing here soon!
I'm very keen to hear your radio news reports Year 6, what a dramatic and tragic event to be finding information about. It must be hard work sifting through all that information to find out the true story.
ReplyDeleteAmazing blog! I was keen to read when I saw the title even though my child is not in Year 6! Both Joshua and I read the entries and looked at all the pictures - Joshua is keen to join year 6 to learn all about the titanic now (although he has a few years to go yet!) Thank you to Mr Earle for all your hard work in putting this together for parents to share with their children. It is clear that a lot of hard work has gone in to this and your enthusiasm is clearly evident!

What an interesting and exciting topic. Did you know that many of the crew were local? I wonder what else you will find out about the local people who worked on the Titanic when you visit the Seacity museum?
