The Trenches

On Wednesday, Ruma Toru had to write letters from the trenches. It was like we were at war.

Children built trenches out of tables, chairs, pillows and sheets. Whaea Dee played some real recordings of gun shot sounds from World War 1. When she heard anyone talk, that soldier had to go to back to base camp for training.

Whaea Dee gave students 20 minutes to write letters home to their framilies. Ruma Toru wrote descriptive letters, so readers can feel what World War 1 was like.
