Treasure Boxes

My Magic Treasure Box I will put in the box The sun rising over the Eiffel Tower The last smile of a great-grandfather The sea rushing over the rocks I will put in the box The sound of the Indian waves A touch my sisters face The smell of the snow and English Channel I will put in the box My first taste of ravioli The taste of a lemon and raspberry ice cream The first strawberry in Europe

I will put in the box The rain drops falling in my mouth The sun shining in front of me The wind blowing against my cheek My box is carved Of deep green grass with brown mud from Australia The lock is made of the shine of a Cheetah’s eyes The entry code is made of jelly beans.

My box will make my dreams come true make Isabel come back from Madrid make everybody happy.

My fairy box I will put in my box A rainbow with eight colours in it A sip of the Atlantic Ocean The first tears of a baby I will put in my box The first snowy day of winter The smell of a fresh yellow rose The smell of new sea

I will put in my box Sand trickling through my hand The last bit of the Titanic A statue of luck I will put in my box All the rubies in the galaxy My pony’s tail The end of the world!

My box is made of‌ The smoothest ice When opened it turns to polar bear furs

Clara

My Beautiful Box

I will put in my box‌

A garden of colourful butterflies, The Turquoise Ocean splashing against the sand, The clear moonlight hiding behind the creepy branches.

I will put in my box, My dark red heart with all my kindness,

All my romantic dreams I have.

My box is made of,

Swirly water falling down, Butterfly shapes, And little asterisk-stars

I will keep it all my life In my room, hidden in my closet.

I will look at it every night.

Cristina

My Box Claudia I will put into my box

A golden sunrise Over the whitest snow from the mountains, The smell of french fries, The sound of crunching leaves.

I will put into my box The most colourful rainbow,

The softest and cutest puppy, The rivers from a Chinese forest with baby pandas.

I will put into my box A baby howler monkey’s fur, A furby boom, pink, sky-blue and black, Violets and roses, with water drops on the

petals.

My box is made of blue diamonds, But you can’t look through it.

There is a bracelet with a diamond, And that diamond is the only thing that That opens it.

I will take it with me Everywhere I go.

It’s got some of my favourite animals in it.

My Box Gustavo I will put in the box A magical time machine, A diary that I will never forget and the robot R2D2.

I will put in the box The snow of the smooth white clouds Super heroes from Marvel comics The little wooden frog that my grandma gave to me (when I stroke it with a stick it makes a frog sound).

I will put in the box digging under ground and finding fossils. (when I find a fossil I am proud of myself.)

My hairy little hamster in his little house My box came from space to earth It landed in my house, in my room, in my bed.

My box is very little But it can fit the whole universe inside, all of outer space.

And all my wishes that I dreamed.

When I am dead in the future My box will be hidden in the graveyard next to me.

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 mountain Put a secret door in it And bury it safe for ever and ever.

My Treasure Box 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.

Mimi

My Special Golden Treasure Box 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.

Pablo

My box 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

Rozenn

My Box 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.

Ryan

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 the box My happiest memories, Like when I was a baby And my mum was holding me,

I will put in my box A place magical in the mountains.

All of my friendship, My best and revered moves.
