Today, we were joined by some visitors from the National Institute for the Blind.
Following our own identities activities yesterday, we now thought about how people are not all the same.
People are different in many ways and today we thought about what it must be like to be blind or partially sighted.
I was so impressed with the questions the children asked.
“How does your white stick help you?”
“Do you bump into things a lot and hurt yourself?”
“How do you manage when going on the bus?”
All the children showed empathy and were very thoughtful when listening to the our visitors.
We had the chance to look through various types of glasses and goggles.
These either blurred or blocked our vision and gave us a good idea of what it must be like to be visually impaired.
