“I liked using the goggles because it was tricky – it showed me how other people see things and how hard it is without full sight.”

“It was cool how you could use your other senses to work out what to do.”

“I enjoyed the activities because it helped me understand what blind people might need to do – I enjoyed the one with the stick because I didn’t know what they were.”

“I liked it because I got to see what blind people see and how they feel. I thought it might be hard to be blind and I saw that there are lots of ways to help.”
