On 13th December a group of students from our Braille Buddies Club run by the QTVI visited Colchester Zoo. The zoo provided a sensory education session where the students were able to feel and classify a range of artefacts into the five vertebrate animal groups. The students then embarked on a tour around the zoo exploring all of its tactile and interactive features.
Braille Buddies Club is a great way for students with a vision impairment to meet and get to know one another, and enjoy different experiences with people similar to themselves; we hope that this is the first of many ‘Braille Buddies Days Out’.
