This week in Literacy we have been looking at the poem ‘The Magic Box’ by Kit Wright. We have written our own versions and added alliteration and similes. Have a look and tell us what you think.

I will put in my magic box,
a tatty train that has no wheels,
a fluffy flamingo feather as pink as a flower,
a twinkling star from a from frightening cave.

I will put in my magic box,
the first glare of a baby kitten,
the last shine of the golden sun on a starry night,
the touch of a spicy fishes fin as dangerous as a dragons tooth.
By Zayna.

I will put in my magic box,
a pond full of yummy, delicious milkshake,
a land of colourful rainbows with 100 wishes that come true,
a never ending road that leads you to a shop full of dresses.

I will put in my magic box,
a golden, shiny, twinkling ring with 900 wishes ,
a Chinese shark as blue as the sky
a first smile of a little, cute baby.
By Aishah

I will put in my magic box,
a crocodiles tooth,
a never ending road as colourful as a rainbow,
a deep, hot pool with bubbling water.

I will put in my magic box,
the first shine of a star twinkling like the moon,
the first tooth of a cute baby,
the smell of a tasty, yummy BBQ in the garden on a summers day.
By Ahmad.

I will put in my magic box,
a fluffy bird flying as quick as lightning,
a screaming baby as blue as the ocean,
a star as cold as ice.

I will put in my magic box,
the smell of burning, hot lava flowing like a jet on the river,
a grumpy, white snow man hungry like a bear,
a bright sun glowing like a yellow, shiny metal bucket.
By Rayhan.

This morning we have written some listed poems in groups of 2 or 4. We read the poem ‘Ten things in a Wizard’s Pocket’. We wrote our own poems and changed the title, have a read and tell us what you think.
An eerie night.
Some problems which can’t be solved.
A ghost dripping with blood.
A large rabbit.
A sea of melted ice-cream.
A minute dinosaur walking in the sea.
A strange, magical, disappearing castle.
A magical, emerald pizza.
A fountain of melted chocolate.
A talking mouse.
By Elizabeth Van Souwe.

Ten things found in a Robber’s Pocket.
A swimming pool without water.
Some men with a TV stuck to their head.
A diamond lock leading to a new universe.
A stripy diamond suit.
A loud meow from a gigantic cat rampaging through the streets.
An angry Green Hulk.
A box of singing treasure from the ocean.
A scream from a man with 5 legs.
The footsteps of a walking house.
A boat sailing through the air.

By Janis, Simran, Aisha and Faizah.

Ten things found in a Robot’s Pocket.
A shiny diamond with a hundred wishes.
A white full moon.
A speedy car.
A stripy leopard.
A train as large as a mountain.
A bowl of colorful jelly.
A speeding boat.
A bag of a thousand balloons.
A bucket of sweets that left forever.
A snapping crocodile.

By Aminah, Ihtisham, Haaris and Cherry.
