Level 1 Vocational students planned, organised, and delivered a V.I. Awareness and Wellbeing event for Year 4 St Francis Xavier’s RC Primary School pupils as part of an in-house work experience project in March.
The children experienced a range of hands-on activities, including learning to write their names in Braille, creating crafts, and taking part in adapted games. They also had opportunities to complete tasks while blindfolded, helping to develop their understanding of accessibility and inclusion.
Each child took home their creations, including fidget keyrings, loom band designs, and their name in Braille on a lanyard.
Feedback from pupils and staff was extremely positive, with many commenting on how much they enjoyed the experience and asking for more. A particular highlight – Logan’s book-folded hedgehogs – proved incredibly popular. Pupils loved being taught how to make them by Logan and Ollie and proudly took their own creations home, adding to the ever-expanding RNC hedgehog family far beyond the College.
