Writing like a solider

We have been learning to add detail to our writing.

As part of our Anzac Day inquiry we put ourselves in the shoes of the soldiers, medics or civilians who might have been caught up in the liberation of Le Quesnoy - a French town liberate by New Zeland in the last days of World War One.

We listened to war sounds and went into our bunkers/shelters/ trenches to write a letter or diary entry. We had to put ourselves in someone else shoes and think about the things they would see, hear, smell and feel. We were glued to our Chromebooks and wrote for a whole block!
