My groups Trench

This is a model of a trench that my group and I made from World War 1. I worked with Alyssa and Lana and we made this because we are studying World War 1.

First we did some research on trenches, Then we took notes on what trenches are and what they look like. After that, we drew some 3d models on what we’d want our trench to look like. We all chose my one that was simple. In our trench, we had to include:  food, guns, a dog and sandbags. We did that. To create our trench, our teacher ( Ms Ramkolowan ) made us some play dough.Then,she shared it amongst the groups.

When we made our trench, we each had to contribute. Lana made the sandbags, Alyssa made part of the wall and I made the food and a first aid kit. We then had to wait for our model to dry so we left it out in the classroom during the weekends to dry. Then we painted it.

When we were making our model, I found painting our model was the easiest, Creating the wall was the hardest and the most difficult part of it was to make the sandbags because they would not stick on the wall properly. I think that it is easier to work in groups than by yourself because you get a lot of help and they are all nice.

I learnt that when you make a trench it doesn't have to be the best, but  it matters that your team helped and that you did the best you could. I also learnt that a trench was kind of like a maze because it would go different ways to different places.

Next I would like to make a war tank.
