  I wonder how many stars there are in the sky
I try to count them but I lose my count

I can never count them

I really wonder what space is like and how many galaxies there are in the whole universe

I wonder how it all started. How did our world begin?

Sometimes I like making things. I've got worker hands. I can make something very big you know.

God made the world with his big hands.

I think God made the whole world.

It's funny when you look at insects and think how big everything that you see is quite small must be to them.

The world is big for ants, middle size for people, small for the skies.

I would like to be an ant. The world would look huge.

It amazes me when you look down and see everything so big - the seas and all the land - it really amazes me.

If you have worries the sea's a nice place to be because it's big and like it makes you seem so small, and your problems so small.

When I think about God, sometimes I think he must be very big - he created all of these things.

ALONE

I was bullied once by someone who I thought was my friend. When I was bullied I felt a bit sad and on my own.

I'm running out of games with Zoe, and, she's changed. She's not like my best friend any more. ….best friends gone…I'm running out of friends

I get scared when I'm by myself.

I hate feeling lost. I hate it

The saddest thing I can remember in my life is sitting at the bottom of the stairs watching my dad and mum having a fight. It was
scary, as well as extremely sad.

Wriggly worms, slugs and snails and dinosaurs and monsters and crocodiles and alligators. I'm scared they might eat me all up.

Lightning and when there's power cuts makes me really scared. It makes tingles go up my spine. I have to sleep in mum's bed.

When I think about death I feel a lurching feeling that makes me sick.

I believe in God because there has to be someone up there looking after us.

What matters to me most in the world is my family and if they are safe and me as well, if I'm safe and happy.

I think about my brother a lot, I do. I feel happy in my tummy, I do. My tummy always feels excited. He's one of my best friends or even more better than my best friends. He's my brother!

My brother's really nice to me now because he taught me how to do roly-polys.

God is nice because if you do anything wrong he doesn't tell you off or nothing - and your mum and dad do. He just forgives you.

If I had one wish in the whole wide world it would be to live with all my family because my mum and dad started to argue and so they split up.

My family are the most important things in my world because they love you and care for you. Nothing else.
