BIG NEWS! (drum roll......) I think (yes only 'think') I have written my first Sensory Story! After several attempts at reducing the word count whilst retaining an actual story, I have managed to prune it right back to 11 sections, each section (sentence) corresponds to a particular sensory stimuli.

Whilst feeling positive about this and yesterday's success at technological wizardry, I am now left wondering whether the stimuli I had planned to use are good/rich enough? My aim is to make a 'WOW' situation from something quite ordinary - why? Because the purpose of the stimuli is to transmit an event or feeling from the story. With this in mind, I believe that it is the way the stimuli is used is going to be key to the success of this venture. 

Well with the story written you would think I was near completion of the project? No so! There is so much more involved. For instance my ultimate goal is to use the theory and principles behind Sensory Stories to create a bespoke Communication and Language intervention programme for use within the Foundation Stage at my place of work. Well today has been a day for making lots of notes...reflecting on my chosen resources and what I will do with them and wondering how I can adapt the Sensory Story idea to meet the needs of individual children. Where I go from here is anyone's guess!
