Lucy Edwards got married to her partner over summer this year. During the ceremony as she walked down the aisle, she asked all her guests to put on blindfolds. Can you guess why? Lucy is blind and she says she wanted her guests to "live a moment in my shoes." As the guests removed their blindfolds, Lucy's partner, Cave, kept on his, so he could feel the textures in Lucy's dress and understand why she picked that dress. Lucy says, "He was able to feel my wedding dress in exactly the same way that I felt it when I first had it on." "This was such an important experience for us even though Ollie isn't blind, but we thought it was really important for him and all of my guests to experience what it's like for me in the most important moment of our life so far." &

Anne Blowers lives in Suffolk and achieved something this year that most people would assume was unusual for a great grandmother.  What do you think she achieved? Anne went back to school last year after retiring and studied for a English GCSE.  At what age do people usually take their English Language GCSE? Anne last took her exams in 1965 (they were called O Levels back then) but decided to refresh her qualifications. She said, "I absolutely loved it because I am a creative person." What does creative mean? "I do write a bit. I've not had anything published but that might change, who knows?" What does Ann mean by this? Do you think Anne is a hopeful person? How do you know? Anne went to colle

What are they doing? The picture shows two friends enjoying a football match. There is something different about how they are enjoying the match; can you guess what that is? One of the friends is blind. During the match, the friend on the left is explaining what is happening on the pitch. Soon both friends are jumping up and down with happiness - why? People on social media are praising the photo because  it shows how friends can support each other. One person write about his Grandad who was short-sighted and couldn't see the match like everyone else. He would take a radio and earphones with him and listen to the game as he was there. - How do you think it feels to be in a football crowd and not be able to see what is happening? - perhaps the blind man should not

In Thailand, Mothers day is celebrated a bit differently to the UK. On August 12th each year, people usually have the day off and schools will hold special Mothers day ceremonies. At the ceremony, children kneel in front of their mother and present them with Jasmine flowers to show their love, respect and appreciation.  That is a lovely celebration to have, but what is the problem with it, who does it exclude, what do the organisers assume about all families if they hold such a ceremony? Do all families have a mum? How would a child feel at the celebration if their family did not have a mum? Nong Cream is a 11 year old girl who was adopted by single dad. How do you think she felt as the ceremony got closer and closer and she saw all her friends
