Year 3 have become poets this week, I am thrilled with the ideas and pictures they have painted with their words. We used a box full of my memories as a stimulus, and I can now put in another memory into the box, their poem! Thank you Year 3, I think it is beautiful. I know some of you are creating some of your own memory boxes at home too.

My Magic Box

I have put in my box…

 

The soft velvet of a precious teddy with all the love it needs.

Full of cuddles of memory from times together that has been passed down the family.

A teddy still loved and as soft as a summer breeze!

 

I have put in my box…

 

A beautiful, delicate mug given to me,

Keeping my heart strong and carrying memories.

Well used and looked after, fragile but full of joy and happiness.

 

I have put in my box…

 

A baby blanket made with warmth, love and joyfulness by a beloved grandmother.

Soft like a newborn puppy, silky and white, it holds a lifetime of memories.

Sharing love and sweet dreams, a bundle of joy and a warm blanket of faith.

 

My box is made…

 

Of dust from the stars, silver ore and  a sparkling emerald.

With love on the lid and family in the corners.

Its hinges are made  of Willy Wonka’s sweet candy canes and screws that are diamond stones.

 

In my box…

 

I will surf on a rainbow wave

and ride on a talking unicorn.

I will dance with snowflakes while

Listening to the melody of life
