The Story So Far

The Titanic

A couple of weeks ago in our Mantle we did science about freezes, solids,liquids and gases it was great. We found out that icebergs where made out of compact ice some of the icebergs are nearly up to 17,000 years old thats along time; we also found out that you could find a varity of gases, solids, and liquids. Along side of that we made a massive 3D boat and had to work out where and when people worked; as well as doing all these great activitys we also did an experemant on ice lollies. We put put one on the radiator one on the book case one in a lunch bag and one in the fridge we found that the one on the radoiator melted first as it was the hottest. Never the less the one in the lunch bag was nearly melted so you can see that not all lunch boxes keep things warm.

My diary

April 4th 1912

I am so excited i think my head is going to blow.

We are finely going on the titanic we are in second class.I have seen elevators and sweeping stair case's.

1:15pm - Lunch it was very gay we had turkey, potatoes, sprouts, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, peas.

9pm - Bed time i feel really sleepy, full and tired.

Day - two: April5th

it was a lovely breakfast, lunch was better then ever i went on to the deck i saw some thing on the horizon it looked like a tiny ice berg.

Midnight we were woken up by a crew member, he said get on the deck as quick as possible
we have hit an ice berg! We were first on the life boat, we were so scared, I think it has been an hour. We have been picked up by the Virginia, some were picked up by the Carpathia and California. I never saw my dad again.
THE END!!!!!!

5/6's new mantle and what we had done so far

Hi Blog

We have started a new mantle and we are Underwater Archaeologists.
Underwater Archaeologists are people who find out artifacts about shipwrecks and other
things that have been underwater for years and years.

I am in the analysis and conservation team alongside with Sian, Duncan and Mr Carpentar.
The analysis and conservation team are people who get the artifacts and clean them up
and analysis the artifacts to identify their age and use.

To start of our new mantle we did a little bit of drama. We pretended to be on a ship and we
were doing our usual jobs, then we were heading towards an ice burg. Courtney and Dylan were
guard dogs, Sian, Bethan and Hannah.P were cleaners and I was the captain and their were
more characters, but I can't remember the rest of the characters.

Next we had a conference call from our boss, Mr Parks and he said to us: "Our money has
started to go down, so I would like you to get into groups and do a display. On the display I
would like you to put on a model of a ship, two diagrams, a 3D drawn or not picture, some
headings, a few paragraphs of writing, and if you want you could add some facts or something
like that. And thats what I would like youto do. So bye,bye."

As soon as we got this phone call we got into our groups and started straight away. In my group I had Sian and Hannnah.C. We had to deiced who was doing which job. So I was doing the headings and diagrams, Sian was doing the 3D picture, and Hannah.C was doing the paragraphs of writing.

The story so far

The story so far is that we've have started our new mantle of the expert on underwater archaeologists. We are having a great time exploring the underwater mysteries. We have been discovering new ways of doing our job and discovering new mysteries; such as the Titanic.

We had our manager, Mr Parks, call in about our sponsor. Our task was to create 6 display boards about our company. We split up into 6 groups, and we got on with our display boards. We had 3 days to do these displays, and we had to reach our goal.

On the last day everybody had just about finished. Then Mr Parks came into our office with the sponsor. They picked one of the displays that was the best. Once they've did that they had to decide if they were going to be our sponsor. In the end they said "Yes".

Now we have now got the money, we planing to get more equipment, and hopely we can get a submarine.

Underwater Archaeology update

This is our new Mantle where we are the Underwater Archaeology Team


We have chosen our jobs some of us are researchers, some are on the technical team, some are publishing our findings and some are on the conservation team. We have been working in role but we have had our first task from manager Mr Parks we have to put on a display to impress our sponsors. However, we only have until Friday to get it finished - we will have to work as a team to complete it in time.


Here are some pictures of about our work:


Our Conservation Team do a great job!St Anne's Revenge which was said to be the pirate

Blackbeard's ship. We recovered this boat last Summer after much excitement and media

attention. Here is a picture taken on our side scan sonar.

We got into groups of about five or six. ವೀ drew a layout of a ship that what we could for diving to look at shipwrecks trying to see what would be the best transport for caring items we said a crane after that we started talking about what jobs we would have on the boat : captain,divers,and lots more. On Tuesday we put writing in order of the titanic when it was sinking what time they got the life boats ready to get of the titanic how many people survied after? In the hall we made some drama about a robber that came on the ship. We created emotion comma sentences so that we could impagine what it was like to on a sinking ship.
