J4 Trip to Belfast

We went on an exciting trip to Belfast on 15th April to visit the Titanic museum. It was a long bus journey, but we played cards, sang songs and chatted and it wasn’t too bad. We walked around the museum and learned a lot of interesting facts about the Titanic. There was a ride that showed us what it was like to be a worker building the Titanic. We enjoyed seeing the different types of cabins on the ship and searching for relatives who may have sailed on the Titanic in a database. There was also an area where you could see the wreckage of the ship through the floor.  

We got to go to the gift shop and buy some Titanic souvenirs. That was really fun but there was a lot to choose from.

We also did a team-building workshop called ‘abandon ship’ and we had to choose nine objects from a box to bring on a lifeboat to help us survive on the Atlantic until we were rescued. That was a lot of fun.

The J4s were the first classes to go on a trip to Belfast and we had a great day out.
