Thank you so much for helping your child to find the things on the list and collect them in their shoe box. We have looked at what the children found and they have shared their objects with a friend. They have written lists about what was in their box and have decorated them.

We then read a poem by Kit Wright called The Magic Box and we wrote our own verse thinking about what we could put in the box that is not real but we could hear, see, taste, smell or touch. 

Some children really used their imaginations.

I would put in the box the smell of chocolate.

I would put in the box a dinosaur claw.

I would put in the box the sound of lightning.

Have a look at our ideas on the display in the classroom.
