Swifts learn about visual impairment!

This afternoon, the SUPER SWIFT class were visited by 'Southampton Sight’ a sight awareness organisation.  These lovely people taught us about people who are visually impaired.  We carried out three activities which helped us to understand more about eyesight.  The activities were: wearing different glasses and imagining what it felt like to have a visual impairment.  We had a go at reading braille too.  Outside we had a go at walking with a white cane.  Did you know that there are two different types of canes? Ask me about it! It felt very weird but fun! Finally, there was a feely bag which had objects in and we had to guess what the objects were without looking!  We learnt so much! The visitors were so impressed.  They gave us a wrist band as a token of appreciation so we can spread the word :)
