This was written for a PMLD/ CLDD class. <br /> <br /> I have written it with the sentence, the sense, the sensory experience and what I and my TAs are looking for and observing throughout the sessions. <br /> <br /> Repeat story throughout the term to enable the child to develop anticipation, investigation, awareness, preference and much more. <br /> <br /> Could also be used in an EYFS KS1 class.

Is there a clear structure? etc.)</p> <p>Best wishes,<br /> Englbee x</p>
