Master Beansprout is learning about the 5 senses in school this term. We found some books from when I was a girl and yesterday we read with interest about sight.
The children were interested to identify the iris and pupils. They noticed the variety of colours in our irises. Their favourite bit was seeing how the pupil changed when the lights went on and off: they were fascinated and spent a long time repeating this experiment and processing their observations in their busy minds.
We read about the importance of sight, corneas and retinas, how to keep our eyes safe, how tears are made, how our body protects our sensitive eyes, how glasses and contact lenses work, what happens at an optician appointment and how people with impaired vision use Braille, guide dogs and other strategies.
It was so lovely to enjoy a book I loved as a child with the Beansprouts!
