Marbles
“The marbles in the bag are in all the
colours of the planets. I think the
world and all our planets are marbles
in another world. When the bag is
open, it means the day has begun.
When the bag is closed, it is night
time. When war is upon us, it means
the bag has split, and the earth has
rolled out into a dark corner, but
when wars end, happiness fills our
hearts. Earth has been helped back
into the bag again. Day and night will
pass peacefully.”
Asmara is in Year 6
Flying hearts of love
“This picture shows what ‘open minded’ means. It has different people playing
together, and the religious symbols show that every person is the same. I have put
on the picture words that show how we can open our minds: respect, adventure,
peace, helpful, care, try new things. I chose this design because it shows how
people try to be nice to each other: you need to care about people from other
religions too. My favorite thing about my picture is the hearts, because it looks as if
they are flying and they show love.” Melinda is 8
Here we come Allah
Here we come to serve you
Here we come.
No partner do you have
All praise to you
The universe is yours
Here we come Allah, here we come.
The world is a very, very big house
Many people living in many rooms
We must open all the doors up
We must unlock them all today
Throw all the keys away
Oceans and mountains divide us
But the same fire burns inside us
We must throw the world behind us
With Allah is where you’ll find us.
