I have had a lovely day painting a castle! (of the Role Play variety) but nevertheless it was most therapeutic. The basics are done and now waiting for the children's creative input to make it totally theirs....can't wait to see what ideas they come up with.
The morning got even better when my wonderful friend and colleague appeared bearing precious gifts.....AMAZING!! These are just perfect, even if you did have to scale trees to get them for me...
not only content with giving me one set of gifts but take a look at this too...
........thanks for thinking of me - I am glad I remind you of a huge roll of giant bubble wrap!
I am not sure yet what it will be used for but I am sure it will definitely have some part to play in any future Sensory Stories I write.
Just feeling good about things when a fleeting visit from another friend and former colleague brought more good news..... she has just delivered a Sensory Story "The Bear Hunt" at the local Children's Centre and has all the resources ready if I wish to use them. Thank you so much!
I am now continuing to write the information that will go with my Sensory Story. So far I have included things like:
- Contents page
- Information page
- Resource / Stimuli list
- How to deliver the Story
- The Story (mustn't forget that!)
- Symbol picture cards
- Links to the EYFS and Planning ideas
- Assessment
- Extension/follow up whole class activities
- Acknowledgements (people to whom I am hugely indebted!)
I am currently working on:
- a page to explain the reasoning behind the way the story is to be delivered
- a pro forma page where children can begin to assess their own learning......
- a PowerPoint of the Story
Is there anything else that people would find useful? .....now there's an open invitation.
