Reading/ Writing

Listen to the poem being read by the author, or ask a grown up to read it to you.

Choose one of the things below to think about each day:

What is in the box? 

Find out about some of the things that are put in:

What is a sari?

Where have you heard about a Chinese dragon before?

Does a snowman's belly rumble? How do you know?

Where is Lake Lucerne?

What is an electric fish? Is it real?

What is Gujarati? And can wishes be violet?

Have you got an ancient uncle?

What is the fifth season?

How did the sun become black?

What does 'My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel' mean?

What does the box look like?

Where can you go in it?

Draw a picture of the box or some of the things that are in it.

What would you put in a magic box?-have a think because next week you will have a go at writing your own poem!
