Life as a chimney sweep

I can hear… scratching noises in the chimneys, mice or rats squeaking and fire crackling.

I can smell… smoke, coal  from fire and wet wood.

I can see…  cobwebs and spiders, black darkness and black smoke.

I can feel…bricks scraping me,  the heat from the fire and dust in the air.

I can taste soot from the coal, burning and ash.

I can smell… sweaty people and dust and   burning coal.

I can hear… mice or rats squeaking rocks falling and people digging loudly.

i can taste the smoke.

I can smell  the things the people were bringing to make the fire.

Life in Victorian Factories

I can see… Children  getting stuck under machines, people getting whipped or beaten and Jute being crunched.

I can hear…People coughing and sneezing from a disease, my bosses shouts ringing in my ears and children and adults throwing up after eating a horrible lunch.

I can smell…The horrible , mouldy pie, machines burning, rotting cloth and materials and stinky food.

I can taste…Very bad food, dirty air from smoke that comes from broken machines and sweat.

I can feel…Scratchy string when you weave it into rope, baskets, carpets, and rugs, dirty machines, wood and fabric and cold walls.

Life as a Chimney Sweeper (Tanith)

I can see… Cobwebs and spiders, lots of fire and so much soot.
I can smell… Lots and lots of smoke,I hate having to smell all these horrible things.
I can hear… Ash  burning loudly, I hear people chatting quietly in the houses.
I can taste… The horrible dust and smoke, so so much dirty air.

I can feel… The fire sometimes when it hits you its so so sore, all the soot gets onto me and it feels terrible,I feel so trapped.

Life at a Victorian coal mine By Sam
