Happy we were, our cats made a purr and our dogs barked away. But later along the life-long road was not the best of days. It started with travel, what a wee baffle, not the best of ways. But if we try to live a long life and all will be ok. G.G

A virus is spreading from one country to another. We are spreading it to each other. Although we&#8217;re all at home.&#160; There's no need to feel alone. All plans are changing, so we are all rearranging.&#160; Hand shaking is definitely out.&#160; Hand washing is good there&#8217;s no doubt. Stay 2 meters back and don&#8217;t let the virus attack. If we don&#8217;t, it will come back. We can play with our friends after it&#8217;s over but until then please don&#8217;t come over. Thank the NHS, without them we&#8217;d all be in a right mess.

&#160;I couldn&#8217;t escape the waking dream of infected fleas I couldn&#8217;t un-see the infected people that were crying for help running to the hospital and&#160; hundreds of ambulances passing me. Which brought to mind the sorry story of the world ending the happiness was on the other side but it spread to the other side of happiness that the selfish prime minister Boris&#160;Jonson didn't listen But I slept again, and dreamt this time of the cure sending across the world and the whole world was cured. I followed a cloud and when I looked down it was like nothing happened. H.G

Cities on lockdown, Every face holds a frown. Death toll rises, We are in a crisis. Stay inside follow the rules&#160; If we all work together We will soon be back in school. Don't touch your face,&#160; to protect our place. And when it's all over&#160; We will all be glad, not sad. O.B

The sun was shining in the sky like a diamond up up up so high But then the mean, grumpy, old virus came to ruin the day and bumped into the joy The day was lovely but became very gloomy. All were very happy, but became sad and lonely. All became sick, all prayed that the grumpy old, mean virus would go away and stay away for good. But, the virus did not go he did not leave but he stayed and got some people really sick that it harmed them and sadly ended some. They worried and hurried not knowing what to get or do so they got lots and lots of...toilet paper no-one knows why, but soon all the shops were sold out too leaving lots of families empty handed. &#8220;Soon this will all be over&#8221; they hopefully thought, but it did not go as planned but in the future it all became lovely and fun and joyful once again.

Our Changing World 2020

A Collection of Poems by P6 Pupils at Lochardil Primary

No more shaking hands, there&#8217;s a virus that's sweeping the lands, remember, don't touch your face, because for doctors it becomes a race, to save the lives of ill and old. Stay in your house, you have been told. Don't worry and don&#8217;t be scared, This virus would go, if we all cared. J.C

Ice caps a melting, still factories smelting. The virus is brewing causing people to be spewing. I don&#8217;t know what to do So I&#8217;ll think it through J.G

All the shops&#160;sold out of toilet roll. All that's left is the dog bowls . Don&#8217;t stand to close&#160; or in a crowded place.&#160; Schools shut down&#160; that makes parents frown. Stay two feet away&#160; and you will be ok. And finally &#160;They shut down France,Italy and China O.M

We are in isolation, across the nation. Try to be kind, before we lose our minds. We are in lockdown, companies have shut down. Before everything closes, blow your noses. We are in our house, bored like a mouse. Bouncing on the trampoline, the fittest we have ever been. O.C

I&#8217;m always sitting in my house looking at the clock. But, know i must remember I have to obey the doc. I look out the window as people shut their gates. I wish this virus would go away as I'm missing my mates. As the days go on I really miss my school. &#160;I think this virus is really really cruel. My granny and grandad are home all alone. The only time I get to "see" them is when I pick up my phone. My dog is really missing all his big, long walks. He's started to be cheeky and steal all of my socks. So virus if your listening , please just go away&#160;! You must go back to where you came from and there you must stay! C.T

No Shaking Hands, A Virus is Around Us. Soap Sold Out. Tissue Sold Out. Soon life will be Sold Out. Nothing To do. Nothing To Be. School's Shut Down for you and me Lives shut down. Parents are stressed. COVID-19 is changing the world. COVID-19 is Taking us down. J.M

The world is sickly and everyone is unhappy I went to Tesco Couldn't even buy a nappy. The family says "lets cook, with out favourite recipes from our book". We went to Tesco but could only get some Soup. COVID 19 is taking its toll. In Tesco I couldn't even get toilet roll! Everyone is in lockdown&#160; but please do not frown. Don&#8217;t stress Why don&#8217;t you just try your best? C.S

Im staying at home, but i'm not all alone. I have my Nanny, my brother and mum and dad so, it's not all bad. I have my games in my cupboard that are gathering dust perhaps it is time use these to help us? I have my colouring pens waiting to be used I just need to choose which one to use. I can still go outside to play but only once a day. Hopefully I can see my friends&#160; when this all comes to an end. M.N

Corona - oh no no! why don't you just go go? Putting people in quarantine &#160;I've never seen my house so clean. Once you get thrown in the dump, you will land on the ground with a thump. Killin people all the time, &#160;just wait because it's our turn we&#8217;re going to find a cure for you, This will be the end of you. This is the last we&#8217;re going to hear from you! This is the last virus you're going to spread, you fool! H.O.H.
