This 20-lesson unit is designed to help teachers evaluate students’ ability to understand and appropriately respond to verbal information. The exercises may also be used to assist in the development of listening and following direction skills. “How would you feel if a bull was chasing you?” “Is a potato a fruit?” “Wink your eye!”For those students who find verbal response difficult, or to add an element of fun, picture response cards have been included.

Holiday/beach/seaside sensory poem on 16 bright, colourful slides. I wrote this poem myself, ensuring I used rhyme, metaphors and similies, that can be pointed out to the students and used to start their independent work on poetry. I used this in both a mainstream school with year ones and in my complex needs class at a secondary special school. Within special, I used it with accompanying sensory stimuli. The poem guides you through what sensory things you need and I have incorporated all the senses. This lasted me half a term in both mainstream and special -loads you can do with it. Plus I even did a sensory assembly with it, which all the students loved.

One page of sixty yes/no questions in six panels of 10 questions based on the five senses.
