The Plague
My name is Chloe I am 9 years old I
live in London it’s 1665. All the
house’s are close together. On the
street there is Poo everywhere
because they didn’t have toilets. And
when it rain’s it is very smelly and
Very dirty. The sewers killed
thousands of people. The Great
Plague has arrived. The bodies lie on
the streets and a man with a cart
takes them away and burn them and
you can smell death everywhere.
On day I went to the shop to buy
some bread and the man said to put
my money into the vinegar to make it
clean. And when I was in the shop I
heard a woman say, “My husband has
the plague. He has black lumps all
over his body and the doctor said to
put leeches on his body to suck
blood out of his body.’’ she said.” I
went home very quickly.
The next day my brother started
complaining about being very sick.
He said he had a high temperature
and a headache. I burnt herbs
around my brother’s bed. I was
worried the rest of my family might
catch it. So I sent for the doctor
and he, said he would be here in 10
minutes. There was a ring at the
door. It was the doctor. He was
wearing a white coat so you could
not see his clothes.
I woke up and went in to see
my brother and he was awake I look
at him said he was not feeling sick
no more I’m happy that he is better.
10 days later now? Cured and normal.
You’re a lucky man,” I said, “To have
beaten the dreaded plague.”

EMMA DONNELLY
The Plague
It s 1665, my name is Emma Murphy.
I am 9 and have two sisters Lauryn
and Katie, they are 10.I live in
London. The houses are built close
together. Every street is smelly and
dirty because people throw poo out
the window, that makes s sewers. It
piles up in the street until the rain
washes it away.
One day I walked to the shop to
buy some bread. The owner told me
to put the money in the vinegar, and
then he lifted it. People think
vinegar kills disease. I was walking
home when I saw people {dead}
getting thrown on a bonfire
I was in my bed when my sister
Katie was shouting,”Mummy, mummy!
” Lauryn and I went into her room,
she had black lumps everywhere .We
called the doctor and he said if you
get a high temperature you have the
plague.
The next day she did not just have
that but a headache, vomiting and
muscle pains. We were never to go
near her. The doctor gave us
leeches. A week later it was getting
better. Then after a mouth it was
gone and she was relieved she said
to everybody, “leeches do work,” but
I think she was just lucky.
EMMA MURPHY.
THE PLAGUE
My name is Joseph .I live in London
it is 1665. The houses were all built
together. I am 9 years old. There
are no toilets. We have to go in a
bucket and then throw it out the
window. When it rains it starts to
go smelly .This is because there no
sewers. It was the smelliest place
ever. The plague has killed thousand
of people. The bodies lie there until
the man came with the cart and bell
came to take them away. They were
smelly, have disease and death
everywhere. They were throwing up
out the window. One day I went to
the shop for bread I saw a bonfire
.I was in the shop when I was waiting
for my bread. A woman said” my
husband has black lumps. Then the
doctor came and he put leeches on
his sores to suck the blood out. Put
the money in vinegar. But it is very
dirty. The next day my sister was
very sick, “She was complaining a
bout a headache and a sore throat “.
I burn the herbs beside her bed and
it will make it kill the sickness go
away. My mummy is very worried in
case anyone else gets it. My family
sent for the doctor .The next day
there was no sign of the sickness.
My relived were so happy. It did not
return. It did make her stay in bed
for another week. Then she went out
to play with her friends. She has
never had it again. I can’t believe
you have beaten the plague. You are
so lucky.
JOSEPH MC DONNELL
The Accident
There were two children. There
were called David and Brandon. They
cycled out of Belfast to Newry to
his friend about a football match.
David was wearing a Liverpool kit
and Brandon was wearing a Liverpool
tracksuit. They went to his friend
called Thomas who was wearing a
Celtic kit. So we went on are bikes.
We stopped for a minute because we
all heard a Nissan skyline drift
round the corner wheels spinning.
The people in the car were getting
chased by the police and the car
skidded on ice and slide in to a wall.
It was very cold. So the police
phoned the ambulance to get the
people out of the car.
We all stepped in till the people got
out of the car and they were taken
away. They were scared. Then David
and Brandon were bleeding a bit.
The diver had a broken leg.
”Get your phone and phone them
again,” said Brandon. David phoned
them .They is coming now. When the
ambulance came the car stared to
hiss and smoke went where. The
driver’s life was saved by two
children.
When the police and the ambulances
were going the police said, “Do you
want a lift” to your friends.

THE PLAGUE
My name is Lauryn. I am ten years
old. I am ten years old .I live in
London with my family. It is
1665.London isn’t a very nice place
to live. There is poo everywhere.
The houses are all close together on
the streets which are very smelly.
The great plague has arrived. It has
killed thousands. There are bodies
everywhere on the streets they lie
there until a man with a cart takes
them away.
One day I went to the shop to get a
loaf of bread for my family. When I
was walking down the street. I saw
bonfires trying to clean the air .I
went into the shop and there was a
man serving me. He had a mask on.
And when I was in the queue. There
was a women getting served. And the
woman said her husband had the
plague. And he had to stay in doors.
Then I bought the bread and went
home as fast as I could.
Next day my sister was complaining
about a being sick. She said she had
a high temperature, a headache and
muscle pain. I went to the doctors
and Dr. Hackett came to my house.
When I spoke to him he told me to
go and burn some herbs on the
windows beside my sister’s bed. On
my way back to the house I picked
some thyme, I lavender and
rosemary which I burnt. I said a
prayer before I went to bed.
The day after there was no sign of
the spots on my sisters back. My
family and I were happy that the
plague had gone. But we were afraid
that it might return. A week later
my sister had made her full
recovery. She was much better. I
said to my sister “you have beaten
the dreaded play.’’
