-Hello. It's time to go to school.

-Hurry, the bell's about to ring.

-We're visiting

-Ysgol Sant Curig in Barry...

-..and Ysgol Llanrug.

-Today, Buddug and Freya are coming

-to meet the children of Llanrug.

-Bleddyn gets new spectacles.

-Everyone arrives promptly

-to start the school day.

-Today we're

-going to be exploring the senses.

-The senses.

-Can you say the word with me?

-Senses.

-Do you remember what the senses are?

-Can someone name one of them? Caio?

-Can someone name one of them? Caio?

-

-Eyes to see.

-Eyes to see.

-Excellent. That's one. Cai?

-A nose to smell.

-A nose to smell.

-Excellent. That's two.

-Hands to touch.

-Hands to touch.

-

-Hands to touch. That's three.

-Ears to listen.

-Ears to listen.

-Which one's left? Non?

-Tongue to taste.

-So that's eyes to see.

-Will you help me?

-A nose to smell.

-Ears to hear.

-A tongue and mouth to taste.

-And hands to touch.

-We use all of these every day

-to make sense of the world.

-A visitor comes to the school today.

-Buddug and her guide dog, Freya.

-Buddug has lost her sight

-and Freya helps her to see.

-Hello, how are you?

-Come in. Come and sit here, Elliw.

-Come closer. Come closer, Llio.

-Say good morning.

-Good morning, friends.

-Good morning, everyone.

-Good morning, children. I'm Buddug

-and this is my guide dog, Freya.

-She's a special friend

-and she's five years old.

-Hello, Buddug. Say hello to Freya.

-Hello, Freya.

-This is a harness.

-It goes over Freya's head.

-Freya wears a harness...

-..when Buddug needs guiding.

-She's having a drink now.

-She's spotted the bowl.

-Sit down. Sit. That's it.

-She's ready to work now.

-When she guides me around,

-I hold on to this handle.

-Because Freya is such a help,

-what do you think I have to do?

-What do I have to do?

-Give her food.

-That's important. What else?

-Water.

-You've seen her drinking water.

-She only drinks water.

-She only eats dry food

-and nothing else.

-No chocolate, no sweets,

-nothing like that.

-Nain gives the dog ham.

-That's fine for a pet dog

-but not a guide dog.

-I've a brush and a comb here

-and I brush her every day.

-I hope you've all done

-this next thing this morning.

-Brushed our teeth.

-Freya's had

-her teeth brushed this morning.

-Here's a comb.

-Look, Freya loves all the attention.

-Everyone adores her.

-It's playtime now, and everyone's

-using their senses to run around.

-Mrs Evans is going to explain

-to the children what Braille is.

-A special alphabet for blind people.

-Do you remember

-who came to see us this morning?

-Buddug.

-Buddug.

-

-And who else?

-Freya.

-Buddug can't read like you and me

-because she can't see the letters.

-Instead, these tiny spots,

-these little lumps...

-..represent letters.

-Look, that's a B,

-with two lumps going that way.

-C goes the other way.

-It's important

-to put them in the right order...

-..not to mix up B and C.

-Let's guess whose name this is.

-There are two spots.

-Do they look like that?

-No, they look like that.

-What about the second letter?

-What about the second letter?

-

-A.

-That was quick. A is one spot.

-Does the next one look like T?

-Does it look like O or N?

-Mrs Evans has forgotten a letter.

-Whose name do you think it is?

-C-A...? Caio!

-Which letter

-is Mrs Evans looking for? CA...?

-I!

-Let's see if they look similar.

-Three spots there, three there.

-Yes, CAIO.

-Caio!

-Tell me whose name is this.

-Now then, there's one spot

-at the top and two others.

-Are those two similar

-to one another? Yes, they are.

-Two Ls make the 'll' sound.

-What letter is this?

-Llio.

-Two spots means it's an I.

-And then...

-And then...

-

-O. Llio.

-Let's read it together.

-LLIO. Llio!

-Well done.

-Now then, children,

-go and choose a letter...

-..and you're going

-to make Braille out of clay.

-We'll start with you, Darcey.

-Which letter have you picked?

-A T.

-What colour clay do you want?

-Red.

-Which letter will you choose, Llio?

-Which letter will you choose, Llio?

-

-Y.

-I want yellow clay.

-S.

-What colour clay do you want, Non?

-What colour clay do you want, Non?

-

-Blue.

-And Eban.

-Which letter have you picked?

-A. What colour clay do you want?

-Red.

-Look carefully at the letters.

-Count the spots.

-Create a small lump

-out of the clay.

-Put it in the right place.

-How many spots do you have, Darcey?

-Four.

-Roll out four pieces. Well done.

-You've rolled out three,

-you've another two left.

-Which is your letter, Caio?

-C.

-How many spots do you have?

-How many spots do you have?

-

-Two.

-Darcey's forming the letter E.

-You've worked very hard. Well done.

-Let's check

-what letters we've created.

-A, C. What's this?

-E.

-S, T.

-And the letter Y.

-Today Bleddyn's getting new glasses

-from the optician.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-

-Good morning.

-Come with me, Bleddyn.

-OK, Bleddyn, come and have a seat

-on the big chair here.

-Bleddyn's been to the optician's

-before. He enjoyed his visit.

-They'll feel

-a little bit heavy on your nose.

-These aren't real glasses,

-they help the optician...

-..choose the right lens

-to go in Bleddyn's new glasses.

-He has to

-read the letters from afar.

-Can you see them?

-Keep looking at that letter C.

-There's one more thing left to do.

-Check Bleddyn's eyes very carefully.

-Keep looking at my light.

-When I move it, keep looking at it.

-He has to follow the light to

-the right, to the left, upwards...

-..and downwards.

-Very good, Bleddyn. Good boy.

-Come and choose

-some glasses, Bleddyn. Come on.

-Look how much choice there is.

-Glasses of every description.

-Which glasses do you want?

-Those.

-Those.

-

-Bleddyn's chosen the blue pair.

-Very good. Come on then.

-Will the new glasses

-fit properly and feel comfortable?

-Are they comfortable?

-Are they comfortable?

-

-Yes.

-It's snowing in Llanrug.

-Reception class

-is preparing to colour.

-What does Owain have

-that the rest of you don't have?

-What does Owain have?

-He wears glasses.

-He wears glasses, doesn't he?

-Why do you wear them?

-To help me see clearly.

-To help me see clearly.

-

-To see clearly. Well done.

-Today we're going

-to decorate a pair of glasses.

-I've already decorated mine. They

-can be as colourful as you like.

-There you go. Purple, orange, pink

-with all kinds stuck to them.

-Are you ready?

-Three, two, one, off you go.

-Do you know anyone else

-who wears glasses?

-Mam? Dad, Nain? Taid? Owain?

-My brother Osian.

-My brother Osian.

-

-Yes, he does.

-Anyone else?

-Nain and Taid.

-Nain and Taid.

-Do you know someone

-who wears glasses?

-These glasses are very pretty.

-But they won't

-help anyone see more clearly!

-BELL RINGS

-There's the bell. It's home time

-after another busy day at school.

-Goodbye until next time.
