Julie Woods

We had a visit from Julie Woods (That Blind Woman) came to visit the Middle Team. She was so inspiring and funny. The children loved her.
She talked to us about peoples' perceptions of people with visual impairments, she talked about everything she has learnt and is grateful for.
She told us about Louis Braille and how Braille came to be, she wrote each of the children's names on a small card with the Braille alphabet written on it. The children were very excited and spent morning tea time writing in Braille using the alphabet card.

Our visit from Julie launches our work into perception, we have talked about perspective and perception when looking at optical illusions and creating our own worlds in boxes (what is a dream world to each of us). The next phase of this work will be to look at how perceptions and perspectives are created, through our senses and our brain making sense of the information the senses gather. We are beginning by looking at sight and light.
