Room 7's Post on Thursday, 24 March 2016

Yesterday we had an excellent visit from plant to plate. We had a great day learning about the life cycles of a plant, planting vegetables in the school veggie garden, preparing different dishes and finally tasting the food. We made fruit smoothies, rhubarb and apple crumble, green salad, bean and tomato salad, frittata and creamed potato bake. Everyone tried a bit of everything even things they didn't think they liked. It all tasted delicious. We even got to sit down as if we were in a restaurant and enjoy the creations. The Plant to Plate organisation was amazing and we really enjoyed having them here.

Lily was trying hard to get places while being blind. Then everyone got in her way that was even harder. We learnt that disabilities are there to be valued. People with disabilities can do everything we can including driving they just do it differently.

Today we had a visit from The Disability Awareness Programme. They came and talked to us about what it means to be special and different, we are all unique, different which makes us all special. We even wrote about other people in the class and what we liked about them. We then talked about what a disability is and how it makes someone special. Having a disability is something that is permanent, not just a broken bone that fixes itself. We also talked about learning disabilities and how hard that could be in the classroom. We had to read colours that were written in a different colour. It was a bit tricky. We learnt that if we ever have anyone in our class that has a learning disability that we need to give them more time to think. We talked about communication and how we can communicate if we cant talk and how frustrating that would be. We have to act out different sentences to try and get people to guess them without talking. Here is Reilly trying to act/draw the sentence my head is sore.
