Year 5 at St. Michael's Explore the Blind Community

Year 5 were granted a look into the Blind Community. The workshop revolved around the difficulties and challenges faced by blind people and how we can sometimes go out of our way to help them if they need it. The children also grasped the adaptations and solutions developed by and for blind people to help with everything; from everyday tasks like pouring a cup of tea to reading. We introduced two new languages to the class too, both Braille and Moon. The children grasped the subjects well and came up with challenging ideas such as how blind people dream and what their concept of the world could be.
