Trenches

Yesterday, Camille and I made a trench with play dough. My class made trenches because we are studying World War 1. First my group and I had to plan how our trench would look like. When we started I thought it would be easy but it was hard because Camille and I had to make a few sandbags, one rat and also a gun. My favorite thing about this was about learning the facts about World War 1. The facts that I learnt were that WW1 first started in the year of 1914 and that it ended in 1918.
