Each term in 2019 BLENNZ Northland Visual Resource Centre Braille Club Curriculum Day has been held for Zaria and Chevarni who work hard on their Expanded Core Curriculum Goals. These goals focus on Independent Daily Living, Braille Literacy and Social Skills.  They get the opportunity to practise social interactions, telling jokes and playing reciprocal games. 

The girls played ‘Battleships’; based on the traditional game and designed especially for tactile learners.  They enjoy making their own food and pouring their own drinks as well as sharing their technology and building on their Braille literacy.
