Year 9 History students who are studying about World War One are experiencing the trials and tribulations of using trenches for protection during the war. While theirs are mini trenches and in soft sand, they are still understanding the hardships the diggers had of not only digging out the trenches but also the added discomfort of actually living in the trenches. The students are also finding it amazing that they are having difficulty maintaining the trench structures even when they are not under fire!.
