Project Overview
During this project, children will learn the story of the Titanic, from its ambitious construction to its tragic sinking on 15th April 1912. Through historical accounts and other sources of evidence, children will uncover the human stories and lessons learned from one of history’s most infamous maritime disasters.
It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
*This project is part of the Cornerstones History Curriculum and not sold separately.
