Once you have got your ideas from yesterday, go back and see if you can add to them. You could add more description or bring the thing to life through action, e.g.
I opened the magical door and saw a shoal of hungry shadows, tangoing through busy streets.
★ Have fun adding to your ideas and let your imagination run wild. Have a read of this poem created by some Y6 children to help you get ideas:
The Magical Door
I opened the magical door and saw …
a world turned upside down:
the sea, now a floating ceiling,
the clouds, an inviting carpet.
I opened the magical door and saw …
the reflection of myself:
standing, searching, staring,
questioning how this was possible.
I opened the magical door and saw …
a sweet-treat paradise:
clouds of candy floss,
drifting across a bubble gum sky.
I opened the magical door and saw …
a field of waves:
blue potatoes were leaping,
playing in white foam, as puzzled farmers watched from sunny shores.
I opened the magical door and saw …
The image of a street I used to know,
But as I entered, everything changed;
As I reached out, everything had gone.
I opened the magical door and saw …
A forest of mirrors,
surrounding me in dazzling white light,
leading me into a world of mystery.
I opened the magical door and saw …
A feast of my favourite foods
Guarded by monster chips
Waiting to fight off all invaders.
I opened the magical door and saw …
Monstrous mobile phones
Herding people into little houses
And laughing, laughing, laughing.
I opened the magical door and saw…
The future.
