A speaker from the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) visited the school recently to talk to S4 English pupils who have been tuding Edwin Morgan’s poem, ‘In the Snack-bar’.

Pupils listened attentively as Ken Reid described his every day life and answered questions that pupils had prepared.

Here is some feedback from pupils:

“I found the fact that Ken could still negotiate around and cook for himself interesting.”

“I found the visit from Ken interesting because it helped me understand the diffiiculties that blind people have to cope with every day.”

After the S4 class, Ken went on to talk to the first years at their assembly. An enlightening experience for all.
