• Year 2 Sea City Museum

  Fri 12 Jan 2024

  On Friday 12th January, our Year 2 class embarked on an exciting adventure to the Sea City Museum in Southampton. During our visit we learnt lots of facts about the Titanic, conducted a science experiment to find out how the Titanic sank and were able to look at objects that would have been used by the people on board the Titanic. Some of the children even tried on clothes which would have been worn by some of the passengers and crew.
  Thank you to Miss Williams and the Year 2 team for organising a brilliant experience for our children, as well as the parent helpers who volunteered their time to make this trip happen! We all had a great time!
