New weekly zoom story time and sing-a-long sessions launched for visually-impaired pre-school children

Families with visually-impaired pre-school age children are being invited to take part in a weekly Zoom-based story time and sing-a-long session run by Norfolk sight loss charity.

Vision Norfolk is putting on the virtual events every Tuesday morning to provide some respite for hard-pressed mums and dads who may currently be having to home-school older siblings as well as look after their visually-impaired children.

The free 45 minute sessions will provide stories and musical entertainment for babies and pre-schoolers, and are open to all visually-impaired pre-school children and their siblings.

“All parents are under pressure at the moment, but for parents with visually-impaired children, there is an extra dimension,” said Barbara Dunn, young people and families activities co-ordinator at Vision Norfolk.

“These new sessions are designed to entertain very young visually-impaired children, and bring them and their families together in an online community. We’re aiming to make them a lot of fun, as well as providing support to mums and dads at this difficult time.”

The Children’s Story Time and Sing-a-long session take place on Zoom every Tuesday morning at 11am. Attendance is free for visually-impaired pre-school children and their siblings. For more details, email [email protected].

Two photographs side by side. On the left: Photo shows a rugged, eroded cliffside under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the ground is uneven and rocky, with reddish-brown soil and chunks of stone scattered around. Some areas look freshly exposed, as if rain or wind recently washed parts of the earth away. There’s a small patch of muddy water near the bottom of the scene. In the background, the cliff rises sharply upward. Its face is light beige with dark grey and brown layers running through it, showing how the earth has built up over time. The top of the cliff is covered with a thin layer of green grass and small patches of yellow wildflowers. Deep cracks run down parts of the cliff, hinting that pieces might eventually break off. On the Right: Photo shows a black and white close up image of a wooden groyne with 6 small pebbles stuck in the small gap of the groyne through the larger gap at the top of the picture you can just make out the clifftop.
