"A day in the trenches"

 "A day in the trenches"

The teachers locked us out and the doors and all blinds were down but after a while we were let inside, it was pitch black and we saw.... STRINGS everywhere! For ANZAC day the teachers made a surprise for us by making us feel what it's like in being in a trenchs from war times. The string was the mark for the trench and we had to crawl under it but if you went over the string that ment you got shot. The things we need were our art books, pen, ruler, rubber and a pencil. We had 10 lives and if you got shot you had one less also if you lost all your lives the teachers would've made you do things like make their lunch!

We did school work under the trenches by starting off with maths. For maths we did a basic facts test and while we were doing it the teachers played bomb explosions and gunfire sounds! People were starting to get distracted with the sounds and I think I did less then my last basic facts test. For writing we wrote a letter to someone in our family about being in the trenches and how it felt. For stuff the fruit break we just had to pass the fruit box and compost bin around the syndicate. 

Halfway through everyone got sore knees and elbows but it still wasn't over. We also did art were the teachers would say a story and we have to draw the scene, we had to draw 12 scenes for art. After this we unravelled all the strings in pairs. My favourite part of the day was maths because I actually like maths tests. It must've been very hard for the soldiers that fought especially how they fought for years!

I think that this day of learning about ANZAC is my favourite day of the year so far! Bye bloggers.
