This week we learnt about trench warfare during World War One and wrote a report on it. This is an example of Malika's work.
What is Trench Warfare?
Trenches were used as barriers during WW1. They were dug in the ground by soldiers, in times of war, and acted as protection, especially from the weather. Trench warfare was most commonly seen in World War One.
The construction and design.
First soldiers would be told to dig a hole about one meter wide and 2 meters deep to protect them from small arms fire. Then they would place boards on the ground so that the rain and water would drain properly.
What was they daily routine for a soldier in the trench?
Soldiers were regularly rotated through a basic sequence of fighting and rest. Each morning and evening (just before dawn and dusk) the troops participated in a 'stand-to', during which the men would prepare for battle.

I am impressed by the progress in your writing Malika. I particularly like the way you have used a range of sentence types in your writing and your use of brackets. To improve your work further, re-read your writing correct your spelling of some homophones.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent Malika, 5G also really enjoyed your use of a variety of sentence types, we thought this made your writing very sophisticated. We also liked your use of technical vocabulary, we learnt a lot about trenches! For your next step, we thought it would be good to include a greater variety of sentence openers.
