As an extension to our Sight Awareness work, we have developed a fun and interactive Sight Awareness Workshop for Schools aimed at KS1 (Year 2).
The main aim of the session is to encourage children to be aware of others with Visual Impairments. We do this through talk, images and practical activities. This promotes children’s thinking about how people with Visual Impairments might see the world differently, and the challenges this may present. We also encourage children to think positively and recognise that people with Visual Impairment can be active and involved in daily life and leisure activities.
We know that children learn best when they are engaged in active, first hand experiences. The session has been designed by a qualified teacher, to include practical, hands on exploration and opportunities to talk and express ideas. Our workshop should fit in well to any school’s PSHE provision.
