Year 5 Trip to Maritime Museum

Year 5 are learning about the Titanic this term and went on a trip to the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The children learnt about the lives of those that were at sea and had a look around to explore what we would come across on deck.

 

 



We took part in interactive activities that made us feel like we were on board; we were able to use signalling that was used at sea, such as Morse Code and flag texting.We familiarised ourselves with what a kitchen and a boiler room would have been like on a ship too!



We experienced what it felt like to load cargo on a boat to keep it balanced. We carefully took turns in using a crane to lift and lower the cargo onto a boat. We tried to keep this levelled and soon found out that this was not as easy as it looked!








Can you spot any crew members from Bannockburn?
