Be good at school.
End of the day I go home in a taxi.
I like being deaf.
Never throw a hearing aid.
Good in the unit because it’s nice in there.

Deaf children like to do work.
Every day you go in the unit.
Always stop fidgeting.
Fed up when the teacher keeps talking.

Be happy with my hearing aid
Equipment fiddling is noisy
I don’t like putting on my hearing aid
Nice when people sign
Good in the unit

Don’t like it when my hearing aid whistles
End of the day I go home on the bus
Always put your hand up
Fed up when teachers talk a lot

Be happy I have a new hearing aid.
Every day I put on my hearing aid.
I can hear.
Never talk when walking around.
Good listening.

Don’t ignore.
Enjoy having new hearing aids.
A hearing aid is good.
Fed up when some people are calling out!

Be happy with my hearing aid
Enjoy playing with my friends
I like new hearing aids
Not good to have dirty ear moulds
Good to have sign language

Do good listening
Enjoy your new radio aid
A hearing aid helps you listen
Face a teacher when they talk

By Shelby Hirst
Norwood Green Junior School

Be kind to other deaf children
Everyday I like to play on the scooter
In the class I like to play games
Nice to have fun
Good to have lots of friends

Do not walk away when you talk
Enjoy it when class is quiet
Always like cochlear implant, when that’s loud I can hear
Face a deaf child

My name is Mohamed
I like playing with my deaf friends.
I don;t line being deaf sometimes

I go to assembly.
I try my best to listen.
But it is too noisy
I feel un-important

When I was young
I threw my hearing aids.
I was so small
And so silly.

I like helping mum at home.
My sister is deaf.
Sometimes we sign together.

When children say,
"What's that in your ear?
What's that in your ear?"
I can't take it any more.
So I tell them,
"Please don't ask me that.
I AM DEAF.
Bye Bye!"

I am deaf
I like wearing my implant
I look so cool
My implant helps me
to hear everything
I don't like it when children
talk about my implant
I play with deaf friends, and hearing
Deaf friends are better
They can understand me
When I went sleep
I dreamed about growing up
I want to be a footballer
I want win lots of cups

I born deaf full
I like deaf because it is quiet at home, implant off
Everyday implant on at school, noisy
I don’t like to hear lots of talking,
I am fantastic at sports,
I like all sports
Being deaf is easy
When noisy, I can take my implant off then its quiet.
I have deaf and hearing friends
I like joking with my deaf friends.

I can't hear
But my mind can race
Thinking, learning and gaining knowledge.

I can't hear
But my eyes can see,
Concerts, animals and seas!

I can't hear
But my nose can smell,
Hot chocolate, roses and latte.

I can't hear,
But my lips can taste,
Chocolate, marshmellows and strawberries dipped in whipped cream!

I can't hear
But my hands can touch,
Smooth grass, my furry pillow and my soft and silky hair!

I can't hear,
But my heart can love,
Happiness, loveliness and excitement.

I ask you:
Why don't you hear me?

By Fatimas Farhan

My ears can't hear
But my mind can race!
Thinking and learning and doing.

My ears can't hear
But my eyes can see!
Animals and mountains and the TV!

My ears can't hear
But my nose can smell!
Airwick and hot chocolate and perfume.

My ears can't hear
But my lips can taste
Chocolate and strawberries and ice-cream.

My ears can't hear
But my heart can love
Happiness and joy and excitment.

I ask you:
Why don't you hear me?

By Sophie Cuersen

on my way to school I saw a dragon.
It was a red dragon.
It was a horrible red dragon.
It was a crazy horrible red dragon.
It was a tempo crazy horrible red dragon.
It was a starving tempo crazy horrible red dragon.
It was a escaped starving tempo crazy horrible red dragon.
And it wanted to burn me to dust.

This creature lives in a cave.
It comes out and hunt if any one is somewhere in the wood.
And often if it sees anyone it will just roar and scare them away and then it will go back into its cave.
It is the colour of a bear that lives in an arctic.
And eats all kinds of fishes that lives in the sea.
Notice how it will grunt if something hurts his feet or his body.
It has the most distinctive cry like raaaaaaar
Beware the most strongest roaring monster in the world.
Do not ever go near it or touch it or do silly faces at it or shout at it

On my way to school I saw a tiger
It was a hungry tiger
It was a wild,hungry tiger
It was a angry, wild, hungry tiger
It was a escaped, angry, wild, hungery tiger
It was a scary, escaped, angry, wild, hungery tiger
and it sat down and wanted me to feed it steak

I'm as happy as a tiger with a piece of meat
I'm as happy as a boy with a tasty sweet
I'm as happy as a bird with a new nest home
I'm as happy as a man with a garden gnome

I'm as happy as a shark with a big fat fish
I'm as happy as a girl with a genie wish
I'm as happy as a cat with a wind up mouse
I'm as happy as a spider with a crawling louse

I'm as happy as a duck with a deep deep pond
I'm as happy as a snake with a big long tongue
I'm as happy as a king with a crown and throne
I'm as happy as a dog with a juicy bone

I go deaf school because I see deaf friends
Last week I had operation.
I have implant operation.
I like my cochlear implant because I will hear with implant.
I dream about my implant.
I hear more and more.
I like my hearing aids off.
I can be quiet.
I don’t like going shopping
The people make a noise.
Talking, talking, talking.
I want my implant switched on.
Then everything be louder.
I am excited.

I have 2 implants.
I am deaf.
When I take my implants off
I feel scared of the shadows.
When I put my implants on
I feel happy.
I can hear really loud
I can hear birds chirping.
I hear children outside.
I hear shouting.
I don’t like people shouting.
“NA NA NA NA NA NA NaA!!!!”
It makes me a headache.
Then I cry and run away.
I love watching rugby with my dad.
I help my mum do cooking.
I play with my sister.
When I grow up
I will drive a big red bus.
