MUSHROOMS 2015

This year we made a project about mushrooms to participate in a contest here in As Pontes. Primary 4th students were learning about the Braille system. Saúl helped us, he's learning it with Paula , a teacher from the ONCE organization. Saúl borrowed us his Perkin machine and all of us used it.
Our project consisted in a game for blind children or those who had a difficulty on their sight. We put in a box some mushroom with different textures for them to guess what mushroom was it. We did it to experiment with braille and see that it is difficult for Saúl or for anyone to learn a new language system . We presented to the contest only one game but we did two. Look at the photos. At the end we won a prize in the contest!!!

Este ano fixemos un proxecto sobre os cogomelos para participar nun concurso en As Pontes. Os nenos e nenas de 4º de primaria estiveron aprendendo Braille. Sául axudounos, él está aprendendo Braille con Paula, unha profesora da ONCE. Saúl deixounos a súa máquina Perkins e todos a utilizamos.
O nosO proxecto consistiu nun xogo para cegos ou para aqueles que teñen dificultades na súa visión. Puxemos nunha caixa algúns cogomelos con distintas texturas para que adiviñen de que cogomelo se trata. Experimentamos co Braille e vimos que é dificil para Saúl ou para calquera aprender unha nova linguaxe. Nós presentamos un xogo para o concurso pero fixemos dous. Mirade as fotos. Ao final gañamos un premio no concurso.



At the end we donated one of our games to the ONCE organization. Saúl, representing all the children, brought the game to Paula. She was very happy and she said it was a great idea. Congratulations children for your job!!!

Ao final doamos un dos xogos á ONCE. Saúl, representando a tódolos nenos e nenas, entregou o xogo a Paula. Ela estaba moi leda e dixo que fora unha gran idea. Noraboa nenos e nenas polo voso traballo!!!

LOUIS BRAILLE

Braille is a unique form of reading and writing, a system which was invented by Mr Louis Braille {January 4th 1809 - January 6th 1852} in the year 1825. Louis Braille was a blind Frenchman who was unable to read and write, and due to this, he developed the Braille Alphabet.
6 dot positions are used for Braille characters which are arranged in a vertical rectangle situated in 2 equal columns which contain 3 dots within each column. Different dot combinations are raised to create a specific alphabet character or number using the Braille system. This Braille system can be read for everybody, blind or not. Blind people read it by touch.Braille is now mainly used by blind people but the original idea (Barbier points) was for soldiers to be able to read at night without putting themselves in danger by using any light.

O Braille é unha forma única de lectura e escritura, un sistema que foi inventado por Louis Braille (4 de xaneiro do 1809- 6 de xaneiro do 1852) no ano 1825. Louis Braille era francés e cego e non era capaz de ler nin escribir e por iso desenrrolou o alfabeto Braille. 6 puntos en distintas posicións en un rectángulo vertical en dúas columnas iguais de 3 puntos en cada columna. Coas distintas combinacións de puntos fanse as letras e os números utilizando o sistema Braille.Este sistema pódeno ler xente cega ou non. Os cegos len polo tacto. Este sistema utilizabano principalmente a xente cega pero a idea orixinal (os puntos de Barbier) usabase para que os soldados poidesen ler á noite sen poñerse en perigo ao utilizar unha luz.
