The country of Ireland • This island is effectively formed into 2 countries – Northern Ireland + the
Republic of Ireland.
• The top part of the country is made up of 6 counties which remain a part of the United Kingdom (along with England, Scotland and Wales) and follows the leadership of Parliament.
• The rest of the country is divided into 26 counties who are independent from the United Kingdom. They have their own parliament, ran by the Taoiseach (a Prime Minster) - Leo Varadkar.
• A civil War, known as the Troubles, existed between political and religious rivals which lasted from the 1960s to the Good Friday Agreement on 10th April 1998. Since then, both countries have experienced a higher level of peace.
We are going to look at aspects of both countries

Rock Formation….• This is the Giants Causeway – a famous site in the North of Ireland.
• What unique features can you spot from these images?
How do you think these were formed?
What makes these unique?

Giants Causeway – Key Facts
• Found on North Coast in County Antrim – cover nearly 4 miles.
• Made up of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns.
• The result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.
• The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea.
• Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven or eight sides.
• The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.
The Rocks in the Giants Causeway are basalt. We are now going to look at wider information on rocks….

Chemistry Study - Geology – The Study of Rocks / solid parts of the Earth
Igneous rocks do not contain any
fossils. This is because any fossils in
the original rock will have melted when
the rock melted to form magma.

• Found on West Coast of Southern Ireland – County Clare.
• Run for 9 miles.
• Maximum height of 214 metres.
• Again, associated with many myths and legends!

The Titanic…
• How many facts do you know about this great ship?
Patron St – St Patrick National Day – 17th MarchCelebrated for – Taken as slave before becoming missionaryNational Emblem – Shamrock Capital – Northern Ireland – Belfast, Republic of Ireland - Dublin
The Titanic – built in Belfast……It was built in the shipyards of Harland and Wolff. This important symbol of industry was only closed earlier this year due to falling trade.
• The Titanic took 2 years to build.
• It was 882 feet (269 metres) in length and 175 feet (53 metres) in height.
• The Titanic had a crew of around 900 people.
• The Titanic’s engines were powered by pressurized steam from burning coal.
• The Titanic's intended course was from Southampton, England to New York City, USA, stopping at destinations in France and Ireland before heading west towards New York.

The Fate of The Titanic
• It collided with an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912.
• While the Titanic carried over 2200 people, there were only enough life boats for around 1200 of them.
• Over 1500 people died because of the sinking.
• The remains of the Titanic wreck sit on the sea bed over 12400 feet (3780 metres) beneath the surface.

Eye Witness Accounts
• You can see that this was a really tragic event which also showed how important the class system was at this time.
• The higher the class you were in meant the better the life you had and the chance of being saved. The lower the class meant your choices were very limited.
• Read the Eye Witness Accounts on the Word Document and answer the comprehension questions on the next 2 slides…

Eye Witness Source A 1. Why were certain passengers kept in steerage?
2. What happened to the man who tried to get out from steerage?
3. How did the men try to comfort the women?
4. Who was given priority in the lifeboats?
5. How was the speaker able to stay in the lifeboats?

Eye Witness Source B 1. Why did Thayer decide to jumper?
2. He describes the cold as ‘terrific’. What do you think he means by this?
3. We are told that ‘the ship's passengers battled against the inevitable.’
What does ‘inevitable’ mean? Why use ‘battled’?
4. What does the simile ‘like swarming bees’ show?
5. What does he describe as the most heart breaking feature of the disaster?
6. What further tragedy did he experience in his lifetime?

Descriptive Writing – The Higher Class…• Look at these images from the Higher class of Titanic. Can you continue this
example of what life would have been like here?
Standing at the top of the ornate staircase, I surveyed the grand scene below. It was like looking at heaven. Chatter, laughter and smiles surrounded me as I glided down the stairs, pondering what delicious meal would be served to me tonight. Does life get any better than this?

Descriptive Writing – The Lower class
• Now look at these images from the Lower class as the tragedy strikes. Can you continue this piece of writing further?
• Trapped. Like animals in a cage. Lower class. Lower chance. Lower viewpoints. Locked. Shut. Trapped. How can they do this? Are they prepared to be responsible for my death? How can they treat us like this? Men shout and argue as innocent children cry out. What will become of us?

We have been looking at the Giants Causeway. One reason it is so fascinating is the shape the stones have formed.
But what shape are they? How many sides do they have?

We are now going to look at these populations in more detail. Pick one county. Can you find:
• 10% of this county’s population
• 1% of this county’s population
Remember our place value counters are our friends!
With percentages, if we can find 10% and 1% we can find any percentage using multiplication. Can you now find 42%?
What other figures can you find?

Importance of Music
• Music is an extremely important feature of Irish culture and is a strong example of oral tradition – it has been passed down through the generations.
• We are going to look at some of the examples of instruments which have a key part in this tradition…….

Instruments used in Celtic music are usually acoustic instruments. This means that they do not have to be amplified. This is so that they can be carried around when the performers are travelling.

Celtic music is predominantly melodic music utilising mainly string and wind instruments.

Murals
• Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions. Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s.
