When I was young, maybe 5 or 6, my brother was taking me to school. He dropped me off then went back home. As he left, I saw something outside and went to go see what it was. I run over to a small hole, and put my hand in. I pulled out my hand suddenly, it bleeding. I ran back to school and one of the teachers put some antiseptic cream and a bandage on my hand. I still don't know what bit me that day, but it was probably a rat or feral cat, or something like that.

Ever since i could, I have loved writing. Whether it be stories, books, or just scribbling whatever comes into my mind. I have a small, wooden box next to my bed. It has all my writing pieces I have ever written.

About the locker bay issues....

Dear Mr Rogers,

Our name's are Tom, Bailey, James and Tea. We have been working on a project about our concerns about the state of the year 8 locker bay. Out first concern is about the amount of rubbish around the locker bays, and in the spare lockers. It is disgusting, and can be easily avoided. Some people put their rubbish on the floor right next to the rubbish bin. Some ways that we think we can stop this stupidity, is to have locker bay monitors, to report students littering in the locker bay.

Another thing that has us worried is the space inside the lockers. To fit all your books, bag, and laptop, as well as laptop accessories, is just impossible. If there are eBooks, then why do we still have hard cover ones? They just take up much needed space inside the locker. To fix this problem, we have the idea to install bigger lockers, such as the ones in America. If that is not ideal, we also thought about removing the shelf in the lockers. Students could also pay a monthly fee of 20c to use a second locker.

The final problem in the locker bay, is the amount of locks that are being broken, lost, damaged or swapped with other locks. Students property can be stolen and broken if taken from open lockers. We could install in-built locks, or just tougher locks.

We hope you take some of these ideas into consideration, and try and fix them.

Thanks - Tom, Bailey, James and Tea.

A child who's mother has the black death (in the middle ages)

*writing on a book* When my mother became sick, she could not look after the family properly. When making dinner, she had a coughing fit. My father told my brother to run to the priest and bring him to our small shack. The priest came and told my mum to stay in bed and no-one should come to her side unless to bring food. As the days past she grew sicker and sicker. She got large blue/black spots on her neck, arms and face. A week later, when I went to give her food, she was dead.
