Titanic Survivors Podcast


This week we finished our work about the Titanic. We have all found it fascinating! On Thursday we concentrated on the survivors of the Titanic tragedy, following an exciting chapter in Kaspar Prince of Cats. We learnt about who survived and how and what happened to them afterwards.

We watched these videos about real survivors of the disaster.

Then, we used our drama skills to role play journalists in New York interviewing survivors as they arrived on the Carpathia.
