What Is The Answer To …?

Why is the nature green?
In the wonderful, attractive scene?

Who made the numbers go on?
Until the scratch of dawn?

When did life begin?
When did sin come in?

Why do stones lie?
And who makes people die?

How do birds sing?
And how do bees sting?

How do angels fly?
Up in the sky so high?

I wonder what is the answer to…

by Carly and Jasmine
Why oh why?

Why are the trees so big and brown?
No one told me so I gave a frown.

Why is water so very wet?
Why do we have animals called pets?

Why is the sky so blue and high?
Why are birds able to fly?

Why is the sun so big and bright?
Why do lions give a fright?

Why is the desert so dry and hot?
Why do birds sometimes get shot?

Why does space never end?
Why don't tree trunks curve and bend?

Why are tortoises so very slow?
Why don't mice never grow?
Why Oh Why Oh Why ?

Room 21 poetry - More questions than answers?
Exploring the Castle Grounds
Some pictures taken during our P6
exploration of the nearby Antrim Castle
grounds. There is so much history and
science right on our doorstep!
Mind Mapping!
We designed these mind maps about ourselves. We described
our personalities and talked about what we like to do.
We studied Henri Rousseau and used
pastels to create our own jungle flowers.
We are doing lots of thinking
about thinking in room 21!
Our class was studying Europe. We
had a class vote and decided to learn
more about France. We talked about
what we knew and what we wanted to
find out. We have been lucky enough
to have a French visitor called Marie,
who is teaching us lots of French
words.
We made spiral mobiles to show
the butterfly life cycle.
A Viking Dig!
As part of our history topic on the Vikings, our class took part in a "Viking Dig". We
learned about how carefully archaeologists must work when they dig for remains!
Lessons from Winnie the Pooh
Some pictures from our "Lessons from Winnie the Pooh" assembly.

"The Magic Box" - some of our poems.
My Magical Box
I will put in my box
A sparkling twinkle of a shooting star
A bright and mysterious glow of a moon
The sweetness of red and white roses.

I will put in my box
The echoing sound of a sweet robin singing
The sound of the waterfall splashing in the
river
The laughing sound of dashing dolphins.

I will put in my box
The passion of which I love my granny
The wonderful barking of a pup
The magical dust of a fairy.

I will put in box
A minuscule mouse holding an enormous
elephant in the windy air
A golden tree of good luck
A yummy taste of chocolate

My box will be a ruby shape
And it will be made of gold and silver
With moons in each corners and sealed
With a golden keyhole.

I will keep it in my dreams of secrets where no
one will see it.
By Sophie -Leigh

My Magical Box
I will put in the box
a sleeping tiger resting in the swaying
grass
the soothing taste of warm noodles in
a silver, shiny china set
the soft welcome of my puppy's silky
fur

I will put in the box
the lovely nature breeze on a windy
day
the comforting scent of amazing
jasmine flowers
the feeling of warm, melting chocolate
running down your throat

I will put in the box
the flutter of a birds fluffy feathers
the magical name Jasper from a far
away land
a beautiful butterfly brightly coloured

I will put in the box
the shine of glittering diamonds in the
heart of a volcano
maybe the friendship of my friends
the sound of the tinkle of tinsel on a
christmas tree


My box is hidden in the heart of a deep
jungle were no one
can have a glance. It is trimmed with
marshmallows and
decorated with smarties and dazzling
sugar.
It is fastened together with tigers
claws forever.

By Jasmine
The magic box

I will put in my box
A monkey swinging from vine to vine
The taste of honeycomb ice-cream
The sight of birds flying in the sky

I will put in my box
The leaves falling from trees in autumn air
A lion walking on his head in the jungle
grounds
The relish of my mum's rice crispy buns

I will put in my box
A sixth sense and a talking mouse
The sight of flowers
A person that could fly through the sky

I will put in my box
An elephant that can speak
The taste of chocolate marshmallows
A blue sun and a yellow sky

My box is made of
Gold and silver metal
With pictures of birds and trees
The hinges are made of lion's teeth
And I lock it with a golden key.
I would hide it at the end of a rainbow.

By Stephen
The Magic Box

I will put in my box
A scarlet rose shining in the glittering sun
The gentle nuzzle of my puppy's sable
nose
And a field of sugary sweet plants.

I will put in my box
A gorgeous garden of glittery golden
plants
The breathing of a pink pixie
And a smile of an amber foal.

I will put in my box
The clinking of a fairy's wonderful wand
A silver lake with a bed of fish
And the thought of a dragon's wish.

I will put in my box
The icy cackle of a hyena's laugh
A bag of pretty, pink presents
And a brown chocolate bath.

My box is fashioned with sequins of every
shape and size. The corners are a hazel
colour like a lion's dazzling eyes.
I'll keep my box in the white, winter snow.
And that's a place only I will know.

By Caitlyn Gilliland
The magic box

I will put in my box
A monkey swing on long swaying branches
Clouds from a net scooped from the sky
A rainforest filled with flying birds and
praying mantises

I will put in my box
The sweet smell of lavender
The brightness of the cherry tree standing
proud to be in my magic box
The sound of church bells chiming as the
day strikes

My box is made from silver metal and
hinges are joined together with shark teeth
The lock is made from a witch's broomstick
I am going to put my box on the tip of Mount
Everest.

By Keelyn
The Magic Box

I will put in my box the sent of brand
new roses in summer,
the warmness of love of a new born
baby,
the sparkle of a wand on a cold
winter's night.

I will put in the box
The sound of a heart beating cosy at
night,
the breeze of the wind on a lovely
warm evening,
and the happiness of the sight of loved
ones on a lonely rainy day.

I will put in my box
Sliding down a rainbow and finding a
pot of gold,
the fluttering wings of a butterfly
and the brightness of snow on a
winters day.

I will put in my box
The smiles of my family on Christmas
morning,
the excitement on my dad's face when
Man U win,
me laughing like a hyena at my
brother's cheesy grin.

My box is made from
Chocololate held together by red
liquorice sticks
and nailed together by sabre tooth tiger
teeth
Decorated with marshmallows and
swets
I shall bury it in the heart of Antarctica,
and I may call it a name.

By Karen

The Magic Box

I will put in the box

A boy who goes bonkers and plays a
bongo called Billy bob
A little lady who's lost for words so says
yee haw
A little feather of an angles wing

I will put in my box
The memories of my magical dog Ben
The pictures of my family
The memories of my friends and I

I will put in my box
The cry of my sister when she was born
And the memories of my first birthday
And a laugh of my brother

I will put in my box
A teddy from my granny Sadie who is in the
sky
A happy memory of Christmas time
A song which I always sing

My box is made of
Sequins and stickers which shine in the
sun
The love of my family and everyone
The hinges are made of finger bones

I will keep it

I shall keep it in my heart forever till I die.
My magical box will then be passed on and
it will go around for eternity.

The Magic box

I will put in the box.

My pups as playful as a kitten.
My rainbow leading to the never ending
gold.
Sweets as hot as a hot chocolate.

I will put in the box.

Stars that twinkles as a moon.
Making wishes all the time.
Laughing with God and friends.

I will put in the box.

Dreams with animals that comes to life.
A waterfall full of sweets and chocolate.
The sun giving my auntie MoMo and mum a
tan.

I will put in the box.

Chewing gum which always has its flavour.
A unicorn that sparkles in the moonlight.
Going to the Emerald city.

My box is as different colour marshmallows
With secret hearts at each corner. Family
and friends which looks so real.

My box is at the deepest bluest ocean where
no one can find if any one asks I'm not
answering because if I do it wouldn't be my
magic box but it would be every one's.

The Magic Box

I will put in the box,

The happiness of cute little puppies,
A rainbow that leads to a beautiful
garden,
And stars that twinkle all day long

I will put in the box,

Beautiful flowers of all kind,
Shivering snow falling on the sky,
And soft clouds on the ground

I will put in the box,

Sweet sounds of fairy music,
The fluff of a fluffy feather,
Wishes that come true

I will put in the box,

Sight of my lost ones,
The brightness of the sun,
Animals that can talk to humans

My box is made of chocolate
marshmallows
Decorated by diamonds and gold and
Dreams and secrets in the corners
And my box will be in the heart of
A volcano and no one will find it.
