A TITANIC Topic

Year 7 has been learning about documentaries this term. We have been using the Titanic tragedy as an example.

Here are some things that a few students have found interesting so far:

She weighed more than 46 000 tons and was about 270 metres long. Caitlin

The Titanic took millions of hours to build, but only three to sink. Anthony

The fourth smoke stack was a fake because it made it look better. Brendon

The iceberg was clear, as it had rotated in and out of the water. Zoe

It took years to build and crashed on the first voyage. Nimesh

Lions in the playground...

Year 7 in the playground during Maths testing whether lines are parallel. They used masking tape to make a transversal across two lines and used parallel line properties to see if the lines were parallel.

Did you see any lions?
