Y5P Let's communicate

Y5P Let's Communicate

Y5P are looking at the importance of language in communication. We wrote our own versions of the poem; ‘I Asked the Little Boy Who Cannot See’ to try and empathise with those who are missing one of their senses. We used similes to help description.
I asked the little boy who cannot see,
“And what is colour like?”
“Why red”, said he,
Is the pain of a sharp cut.
Blue is the sound of rippling waves on a calm sea.
White is the soft fur on a kitten
And orange is the excitement of going to the fun fair on a summer’s day.
Gold is the taste of honey dancing on your taste buds.
Black is like me - the boy who cannot see.
By Joe L.

I asked the little boy who cannot see
“And what is colour like?”
“Why yellow,” said he,
“Is the warmth of the beaming hot sun.
And pink is as soft as cotton candy at the circus.
Red is the smell of smoke from a burning fire.
Blue must be the taste of the salty seas
And black is as cold as ice on a winter’s day.
White is the blossom from a tree falling on to me face.
By Meigan W.

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
“And what is colour like?”
“Why red,” he said, Is like the sound of a saxophone.
Silver is as striking as the sound of lightning.
Gold is warm like the sun.
Black is like the darkest guilt
And pink is the greatest feeling ever, - Love.
By Mikenagh
