Lesson Excerpt:
We have five senses which we use to learn about the world we live in. They are hearing, touching, smelling, tasting and seeing. Our eyes tell us about light and dark, about color and shape and size and about distance. Can you think of some of the things you learn by using your eyes?
Some people can only see a little, or not at all. We say they are visually impaired or blind. Can you imagine what it would be like if you couldn’t see? Try walking about the classroom with your eyes closed. How did it feel?
