Today we spent the day in the trenches in Room 22. We built them in the morning and spent the day underneath doing our Anzac activities. Even Benny (Platoon 22's mascot) joined in on the action in his very own trench Sergeant Reid took us out to march in formation as the day wore on then we were back in the hot and sticky trenches. We ate our morning tea in the trenches and some of us tried to get a day sleep in. (Benny the cat is very good at day sleeps!) We even had realistic WW1 noises going on all around us and we had to keep low or risk losing our head.
Afterwards we decided that while it was cool fun for part of a day we didn't think it would be for long. It was hot, cramped, overwhelming and the noise made us lose concentration.
We think the men who had to survive in these must have been very brave and we know we hope that nothing like it ever happens again.
We will remember them!
That's cool !!! H.M.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful learning experience. Must have been very hard to concentrate on your work in such a hot, small, noisy space.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, hot and busy. The shooting noises made me a little bit scared. FC22
