Room 13 wrote arguments about what the most important word is... here are some examples.

The most important word in the English language is love. This word is very important because it is used to show affection and caring to lots of different people. Love should be shared between each and everyone. It is a very powerful word, without it, most of everyone would be lonely, so it must be an important word. Cole Broadmore.

The most important word is no because otherwise you'll have to say yes to every question (unless you say nah). And also, you always have to agree with people without saying no. For example, if someone asked you to jump off a cliff, you would have to say no. Ari Henman

The most important word is the. This word is important because it is used in the most important conversations. Everybody will use the word the in their typical day. I just used the word the, seven times in the past three sentences. The is spelt t.h.e. those three letters create the most important word ... the! Kobi Wetting

The most important word in the English language is 'hope'. How come? Well because it is saying you believe in something, you have faith when it comes to this position and it is always good to have faith in something. Hope is a magical thing because it can make you excited. And being excited can turn your bad mood into a good mood. Bree Lawn.

The most important word is joy. Without joy, you would be sad and lonely. You will have no happiness in your life. Everyone will thin you're sad and not a very good person. Joy makes you happy and a very good person. Mostly everyone has joy in them and they always should. Charlie Murray

What do you think is the most important word?

 

 

28 June

Such a sight I saw:

A cyclone breaking through the white clouds and turning them black. Rain flooding everything in sight. The dark sky has taken over.

Such a sight I saw.

And such a sound I heard:

Thunder and lightning crashing to the ground. Rain splashing on the window. A dull day.

Such a sound I heard.

Such a smell I smelled:

Steaming hot chocolate with a hint of coffee. It took me back to nana's hot creamy porridge. Delicious.

Such a smell I smelled.

Such a soft bed I felt:

Soft fluffy blankets. Warm sheets covering me. Comfortable.

Such a soft bed I felt.

Such food I tasted:

Sweet and creamy. Gooey marshmellows floating around. Happy days.

Such food I tasted.

Such a world comes in:

So many different foods to taste. Many textures to feel. Through your terrific brain.

Such a world comes in.

24 Mar. We had to write feeling metaphors. Here are a few examples.

If feelings were a sound then happiness would be the sound of Santa Claus laughing and giving presents to children .

Max Liu

If feelings were a colour then pain would be a silver blade piercing your skin.
