ANZAC DAY 25TH APRIL

THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC

This weekend will be the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic

At 11.40pm on the night of 14 April 1912, en route to New York and on her maiden voyage, the RMS Titanic struck the iceberg that would ultimately lead to her sinking less than 3 hours later. At around 2.20am on the morning of 15 April, RMS Titanic disappeared beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, a disaster that resulted in the loss of more than 1,500 lives, almost two-thirds of the people on board. It took 73 years for the wreck of the Titanic to be found on the seabed.

The following clip shows what happened when the Titanic hit the iceberg.

POO BUM written by Stephanie Blake

The little rabbit is loved by his family, even though whenever they ask him a question, he answers very rudely. Every morning when his mother said, "Time to get up, my little rabbit," he would reply, "Poo bum!" At lunchtime when his father said, "Eat your spinach, my little rabbit," he would reply, "Poo bum!" One day, he meets a hungry wolf. Will the little rabbit learn his lesson once and for all?
