Why the Titanic sunk! Have you ever heard about the Unsinkable Ship before?
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Titanic also known as the Unsinkable Ship crashed into a massive iceberg and scraped along the side of it. This was the Luxury liners first voyage but also it’s last. A big disaster with many lives lost.
Everyone thought that the Titanic would never sink because the owners said it was the safest ship in the world. When it hit the iceberg it made big holes in the side of the ship. The bulkheads started to fill with water and the Titanic slowly began to sink.
When the Titanic started sinking the front of the ship was the first to get covered with water. It dragged the stern of the ship down but the pressure was too big and it snapped off. The stern of the Titanic bobbed up and down for a while before submerging into the icy water.
Some good things to think about the titanic.There should've been more lifeboats so all the people on the ship could survive.The captain should’ve listened to the warnings and prepared everyone earlier.

My Letter for Clive Palmer
This week the Pohutukawas and Kakapos have been reading about the Titanic and researching the Titanic 2. They have used what they have learnt to write a letter to Clive Palmer suggesting what he should do to check the Titanic 2 is safe to sail.
Here is screenshot of a letter for Clive Palmer written by Ashley.

The Disaster That Shocked The World
This term we have been learning about the Titanic. This is a summary of what Amber has learnt.
In 1911 the titanic was built. It was the BIGGEST ship to EVER be built. It was bigger then a human, a car, and EVEN a airoplane, want to know why it isn’t around anymore? Well, one night the Titanic was sailing across the sea. One of the captains saw an iceberg and told the captain. He didn’t listen, so one of the captains tried to turn the ship before it went through the iceberg, but when they turned the side scraped the iceberg and sunk after one hour. In that hour they left 1114 or 1115 people left in the freezing water…. After about 30 minutes they all froze to death… They died. Did you know they didn’t put alot of people on the boats? One of the boats could fit up to 62 people but they only put 31 on. The Titanic started zooming down in the water, like a torpedo. Parts came off and now its in the freezing, cold, atlantic ocean. It’s gone forever. This is a disaster that is famous, but we will always remember the people who died on there. If you ever want to find the Titanic, I would never want to, want to know why? I think you would freeze to death, just like how everyone else did.
