After the poems...

And after all these brilliant box poems, we created some real boxes with lots of the things we would put in, loosely based on the poems - see these blog posts on the Y4 blog.

My Magic Box

By Vega

I will put in my box

The most beautiful tale in Europe,

The soft white snow underneath my feet,

Touching the sea from a boat.

I will put in my box

The sweetest strawberry in the land,

A delicious red cherry for me,

The blue-green colour of the sea.

I will put in my box

Colours from a rainbow,

A visit from a friend from another country,

A leaving present if you go abroad.

I will put in my box

A Chinese blossom tree,

A fallen leaf,

A windy day.

My box is fashioned from a sari in blue tones, it has golden fishes on it and a lot of yellow flowers.

My Magic Box

By Tino

I will put in my box

A giant mountain full of hard crunchy snow,

Monsters made from shining ice,

A giant blue yeti.

I will put in my box

Living snow men with arms made of wood and icicle teeth,

Avalanches falling from everywhere,

Lego star wars and a giant crocodile eating everything in their path.

Lots of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Lego.

I will put in my box

Soldiers and armies walking,

Gandalf the white and the grey,

Mordor rolling half of the universe.

I will put in my box

A volcano made out of chocolate,

Green, red and brown dinosaurs scaring everyone,

Dragons and the giant Lockness monster.

My box is fashioned with a scary face and the body of a gigantic wolf. It has lots of padlocks on it to stop anyone from stealing it and controlling the universe.

My Magic Box

By Sara

I will put in my box

The breath of a dragon in the mountains,

The fur of a giant panda,

The sharp tooth of an ice mountain wolf.

I will put in my box

The taste of creamy melted white chocolate,

The world’s biggest ice-cream,

The world’s largest most beautiful flower.

I will put in my box

My amazing favourite collection of books,

My favourite colourful hand bang,

And the biggest lollipop in the whole world.

My box is fashioned from sparling rubies and shimmering diamonds.

My Treasure Box

By Tobias

I will put in my box

A crazy dream of a giant roller-coaster

Children laughing in the playground

The colours of a clear rainbow



I will put in my box

My best and revered moves

All of my friendship

My happiest memories

like when I was a baby and my mum was holding me



A place magical in the mountains

My Box

By Ryan

I will put in the box

The Twin Towers from New York

A comet from the deepest part of space

An America eagle flying over the Grand Canyon

I will put in the box

My cat’s super soft calico fur

The beautiful aquamarine Maldives water

A field covered with snow

I will put in the box

The best sushi in all of Japan

A veggie burger from Washington D. C. 

 Pizzas from Pisa

I will put in the box

The feeling of being in the cockpit of the F14 tom cat

The dream of me flying over the Himalayas

Me as a magnificent white swan

My box is fashioned from rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and topazes

The hinges are made out of gold

With a big diamond on the top.

I will keep it safe in my bedroom

Let no one see it

It will always be my box.

My Box

By Rozenn

I will put in my box

Thousands of multi-coloured baby elephants

That comes from Africa

A pink humming bird from the forest in the south of England

I will put in my box

The wave-washed beach of Miami

And the chief roller-coaster

The sight of the Egyptian statue

The pleasure of an African little girl

I will put in my box

The sun rising behind the Pyrenees

And the wonderful smell of red roses

Peace on an island with a smoothie

A water fight in my own back garden

I will keep my box

In my safe keeping

My Box

By Penny

I will put in to my box

A golden sunrise other the bluest sea

My reflection shining in the river

The light on the snow



I will put in to my box

The smell of a beautiful yellow rose

That lovey smooth feel in between your hands

I will put in to my box

the rubyest, sweetest strawberries

a chocolate waterfall with marsh pads on it

a jelly palace (mmm, how delicious!)

the colours of the rainbow

the glow of my heart

the rain from my eyes

The Magic Box

By Sanika

I will put in the box

The shimmering turquoise colour of the Pacific Ocean ,

The fluffiest fluff of cloud from heaven,

The greenery of the woods with a crystal blue lake.

I will put in my box

The feel of the rough net of an Anar Kali,

The smell of rose candles melting,

The sound of a silky harp.

I will put in my box

A sudden crunch of cream and onion chips,

The squeak of an oily saucisson de Toulouse,

Fresh salty sushi going in my mouth.

I will put in my box

A bright summer’s day in the woods,

The bluest drop of water from lake Lucerne,

The whitest frost of Antarctica.

I will put in my box

Me relaxing on a warm comfy bed with  rose petals on it,

The freshness of the mountain stream,

 A secrete chamber made from amber.

My box is fashioned from gold, silver,

bronze and platinum with a carved butterfly,

With some jades, jaspers rose quartz and emeralds.

I shall swim in a crystal blue lake

with a secrete chamber

leading to precious stones and jewel world. 

My Magic Box

I will put in the box

A sparkling sunset with a pearl sun,                                                                

A silky feel of a piece of a stem of a bamboo tree,

A world full of snow and art.

By Niamh

I will put in the box

A slice of cheese pizza made by my mum,

A slice of Victoria sponge made by mum,

My cute and soft elephant treasure.

I will put into the box

A rainbow rain storm in the winter,

A cute baby elephant under a diamond waterfall,

The sound of the song called Relax, take it easy by Mika.

I will put into the box

A gianormous hug from Joshua (my brother),

A butterfly going throw a waterfall in Andorra,

I would like to go scuba diving in the Atlantic Ocean.

My box is fashioned from silk of the stem of a banana tree with hinges that are made from my dad’s fingers. It also has rubies, diamonds, love hearts and stars for the decoration of the box.

I shall look after my pets my rabbit called Spotty, 

my dog which is a scotty dog and it is called Cutie,

my baby turtle called Turquoise,

my baby elephant called Sparkly in Pet Lagoon!    

My Magic Box

By Matias

I will put in the box 

My favourite Lego star wars character Luke Skywalker,

The best Minecraft video game for X box,

Captain Rex’s Lego Star Wars space ship.

I will put in the box

The smell of a revving motorbike,

The smell of a new thing,

The smell of a new book.

I will put in the box

A star wars dream and I will be Luke Skywalker.

A dream about a gigantic beast that is trying to kill me.

A dream about Minecraft.

I will put in the box

An exciting dream,

Lots of fun games,

A yummy pizza.

The Magic Box

By Maria

I will put in my box

The sight of the snowy tops of the Pyrenees,

The sight of a field with Lotus flowers starting to open,

The sight of a sunset near the beach.

I will put in my box

The smell of evaporating water from the Atlantic Ocean,

The sound of a galloping horse,

The texture of the smooth fur of my white rabbit

I will put in my box

The chocolate fondant melting in my mouth!!

A sip of the translucent waters of the river Lucerne,

An apple crumble crumbling in my mouth.

I will put in my box

The ruby red cherries from my garden lightened by the sun in summer,

Red, yellow, brown and orange leaves falling from the trees in autumn,

Blossoming roses in spring!!!

I will put in my box

The feeling of the sun on my face,

The dream of having my own horse,

The feeling of happiness.

I will put in my box

An enormous waterfall with its water spraying my face,

Firefly’s flying across the river Garonne,

Spider webs iced in winter.

My box is fashioned with delicate crystal,

It has a special key to open it,

It has a really special button to transform my box into a horse.

Multi-coloured stripes!!

I will horse ride with my box whenever I want.

My Special Golden Treasure Box

By Pablo

I will put in my box

The sunset

The sound of violins playing a sonata of Vivaldi.

The smell of hot chocolate drifting through the air.

I will put in my box

A Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. Scrumptious!

Cherry Sunburst destroying villages.

The blossomy spring breeze making a Pacific wind.

I will put in my box

Entering my stories in real life (Crime at the Guggenheim),

The feeling of people celebrating, enjoying life at parties

A staring snow leopard, his breath frozen with glittery frostiness,

I will put in my box

The mountain falls of the north Pyrenees, the Garonne collapsing toward the sea,

A portal leading to Neptune, or Jupiter or Outer Space,

The moon shining in the night with the peaceful vague trees.

My box is made from crystal-ice mirrors.

It reflects in the light every day in winter,

The avalanche will come to you if you open it.

Then obscurity will spread through your body.

I will show my box to Mr Gregg and Mrs Baldwin

And to all IST and I will make a feast with lots of people

And give things to the poor.

My treasure box

By Mimi

I will put in my box

A blazing feather of a phoenix,

A ribbon made of the colours of rainbows,

The golden horn of a unicorn.

I will put in my box

The sound of the rustling leaves in a damp rainforest,

The smell of paint as it splashes on a shiny canvas,

The feel of the warm silky fur of a month-old puppy.

I will put in my box

The rushing colours of the wind,

A lightning storm, crashing thunder from the sky,

The cherry colour of sunrise and sunset.

I will put in my box

A million shards of violet-flavoured candy,

A runny yolk of an egg and the crisp sides of bacon on a plate,

A bowl full of fresh berries and whipped cream.

My box is carved out of the oldest oak wood,

The lock is made of jade coloured dragon eye stones,

The hinges are fashioned out of delicate autumn-brown pebbles,

The key is made out of dreams and is shaped like a cerulean-coloured dragon,

Nobody knows that at night it comes alive and guards my small chest.

I shall sometimes step into my box,

Inside, it is always night,

A silhouette of a grey wolf howling at the blue corn moon,

A field of glowing fuchsia and indigo orchids,

Tiny dragons with wings of rainbow hues, singing and humming a beautiful lullaby to each other,

And a giant peach tree, the blossoms swaying in the cool breeze.

Maia's Box

By Maia

I will put in the box

An erupting volcano a thousand metres high

My guinea-pigs Buster and Ratatouille

And Italy seen from space

I will put in the box

A lake at the end of China with the smell of sea

And the smell of a dreaming horse

The smell of my mum’s quiche

I will put in the box

My cushy brownie cake

And my dad’s fish lasagne

And a Christmas roast diner

I will put in the box

To slide down waterfall like a Spanish dragon

And to ride on my friend, Clara’s horse

To swish down a giant water slide

My box is made of…

My Mother’s lovely smoothness

And the hearts of my school friends

A Panda that has never been seen before

I will throw my box down a giant mounting

Put a secret door in it

And bury it safe for ever and ever

The Magic Box

By Luis

I will put in my box                            

My special golden Karate trophy,

My lovely white smooth dog on earth,

A relaxing clear blue ocean.

I will put in my box

Being cool, great, happy in Karate,

Eating the best crunchy margarita pizza with tomatoes, cheese and red salami,

Going to the highest part of the Pyrenees and jumping from one big rock to another.

I will put in my box

Running through the crunchy snow throwing snow balls at each other,

A big sweet apple, so sweet that your mouth waters,

The awesome Lego batman game that makes you very crazy running through the house!

My box is fashioned from strong gold ice,

With four strong locks and shiny colourful diamonds,

A secret pathway, only I know the way!

My Magic Box

By Irene

I will put in my box

Fun that I had when I was younger,

The red sun sinking into the blue sea,

A sip of the bluest deepest water.

I will put in my box

The feel of soft smooth fur from a Tiger,

Playing among my dreams with wild lions,

Swimming with giant dolphins on another world.

I will put in my box

The sweetest raspberries on earth,

The smell of tulips,

The texture of a panda’s fur.

I will put in my box

The tooth of a dragon,

The swish of the trees in the wind,

The feel of the clouds.

My box is fashioned from gold, silver and diamonds,

With pearls on the lid and wolfs on the corners,

Its hinges are the secret doors that lead me to other worlds.

I will play in my box

In the biggest forest of China,

And play with golden Pandas

The colour of the sun. 

My Magic Box

By Eli

I will  put  in  my box

The high  white snowy mountains of the Pyrenees,

The  wild  green  forest  of the Amazon,

The wild west in the shimmering heat.

I will put in my box

The feel of  my rough  toy sheep,

The sound  of crumbly smoked  bacon crisps,

The smell of a tiger ,a very lovely  tiger.

I will put in my box

The slurping sound of a magical cherry coca cola  fountain,

Cherry flavoured sweets shaped like cherries,

Multi  fruit   flavoured bubble gum.

I will put in my box

A blue summer sky with the sun peeking through  the clouds,

A red romantic sky with heart shaped  clouds  whispering love,

An orangey red sky, sunset heaven.

My box is fashioned from

Magical things like unicorns and wands,

Carved  iron and wood,

A baby’s love.

I shall do in my box

I would horse ride around a lagoon of   dolphins

with my box in my saddlebag,

Before swimming in the lemon scented pool.

My Magic Box

By David

I will put in my box.

The gold coins of the golden king of the USA,

The smell of a rose.

The body of a T. Rex

I will put in my box

Bamboo from china,

The world of Lego,

The best pirate ship.

My box is made of silver monsters and gold.

My Box

By Jacques

I will put in the box

Potions of regeneration

And splash potions of harming

And the magic of the world

I will put in the box

The sound of tiny flames

Everest from the snowy Himalayas

I will put in the box

Angry feelings

And weird dreams

And I will put the snowy Pyrenees

I will put in the box

The last Emperor of Japan

And the sword of a Chinese Ninja

And honesty

My box is formed with diamonds

And gold

With solid silver

Some of it is pewter   

And it is also made out of glass

                                                 

I will hide my box in a secret cavern

And two mechanical magna guards will keep an eye on it.
