Life living in Trenches❗

Life living in Trenches❗

Salaam Bloggers. On Wednesday 14th April we had to live in the Trenches for ANZAC Day! Our teachers had got lots and lots of strings and tide the around the place. They tide them low so they could look like you were in the bottom of trenches. If we put our heads, arms, legs or stand up we would get shot by a NERF Gun!


First we had to get our Art book stationary and enter the Trenches! Then we did a basic facts test while there was noise of gunfire. 


After that we did ANZAC Maths. We all got question sheets and answer sheets. The sheets included how many people went to War. How many people weren't able to survive. The years the Wars were and a fact.


 We did some exercises in the Trenches! 

We then rote a letter to our parents pretending we were in a real Trench.  Here is my letter. 

Dear family, I am having a very hard time in these trenches. It is like living in the most horrible dungeon! It is not like at home here. It does not have any fresh food here. We can’t even take showers or wash ourselves. The rats here would be as big as cats!. The food here would be raw and hard. Everyday we would have to eat, sleep, and fight in the same place. Lots of people would get injured and lots would die. It is also very scary when there would be gunshots and bombs. People would be screaming for help from others. There would be no beds and it would be freezing at night. Dear family I hope you are in great health. Please hope I will be too. Goodbye from Ayana Rizwan.


We also had to write a Poem here is my Poem


Insane amounts of people dying.

Nothing to eat but hard biscuits.

Joining his partner so none could fall hurt but...

Urgent trips to the hospital here we go again.

Rat’s stealing our things while we are not around.

Yawning people waking up early “ I don’t wanna wake up” they say.


It was time for morning tea. It was too wet so we played in the hall. After that our Ms Sands one of our teacher had split us in 2 groups. My group went swimming first the other did Art. The pool was freezing when we got in. It also started raining. We all had some swimming but I was too cold. Right when me and my friend Amara got out it started hailing! The ice fell on my and it almost broke my little finger.


We had ran into the classroom and crawled back under the strings. Miss Daly told us what to do. We had to get our art book and draw lines. We were doing picto draw! Ms Sands was reading a book about Gallipoli. We had to hear what she was saying and draw it on our books. 



Finally it finished the day was over but....... There was still more to go! We had to find a buddy and one of us had to put it on. Then we had to find a piece of string. Our buddy had to guide us and we had to keep tying the string to an ice block stick. 


Then that was the end of the day. Everyone had so much fun I hope we do this again. What would you do for ANZAC Day?
