That's wonderful. #HiVis2025
For Hi Vis Fortnight at #RawtenstallLibrary we used Lego Braille to spread awareness and teach the basics of how Braille is used. We did several activities, including spelling your name, matching letters up without looking at the Lego blocks and practicing the alphabet in Braille

In this weeks #KidsPick the pagan god of light, Lugh, causes chaos when he brings darkness down on the world. Everyone panics at not being able to see - apart from Ella, who is blind and used to living her life in darkness every day. https://t.co/ySktbmVBRl
