take a look inside

P4/3 got blindfolded and went round the school with a partner.  We have been learning about disabilities and this gave us a feeling of what it would be like to be blind.  We had to give our partner directions because they couldn’t see where they were going.  I thought it was hard especially going down the stairs and I got a bit confused.  It was difficult because with the blindfold on everything was dark and you had to trust your partner to do a good job of guiding you.  Meighan. 

 We had an experience of what it would be like to be blind on Tuesday.    We walked from our classroom to the hall.  I was a little bit scared going through the doorways incase I was hit by the door.  I think I did a good job of guiding my partner around and held her hand going down the stairs.  We also had a go of tying our laces, colouring a picture, sharpening pencils and washing our hands with the blindfold on.  Sharpening pencils was quite hard but I managed ok.  Washing my hands was easy and fun!  I think we take a lot of things from granted as we can do them easily and it was good to understand how hard some things would be if we couldn’t see.  JJ.
