Life in the Trenches - Day 1

For the last week of term we are doing an ANZAC study called 'Life in the trenches'.

To start the day Mrs Hastie kindly brought in some army clothing and equipment to show us. Some of us had a go at wearing the uniform and carrying the heavy pack. Next we looked at the different roles men and women had during the war.  Then the boys and girls spilt up and started some hands on activities.  The girls went foraging for food in the local orchards and were taught how to sew.  While the boys were sent to the front line to dig trenches and marching drills.

  7. Hello Ako Ngatahi Megan here your trenches look amazing. How long have you been making them? I wish we could make them at my school. They look like the ones from the war.

  8. Morena Ako Ngatahi, it's Kyra again from Grey Main School. I like how you have explained about the war because there is lot's of detail to it. This reminds me of writing and drawing about the war because it is the same topic that you were doing. Maybe next time you could tell me why you were doing this topic because I am really curios about it. Miharo work! (Awesome work!)
