Discover, Feel, Learn: Inside Our Sensory Workshop

Another busy start to our Sensory Workshop group this term! A recent focus in our group has been on the use of painting activities to support attention skills alongside sensory expression.

Children took part in a short mindfulness activity, observing daffodils closely and noticing details such as shape, colour and scent before creating still life watercolour paintings. We have also been experimenting with using a variety of tools to paint, using things such as cotton buds, cotton reels and straws. We enjoyed finding out how different movements and tools can change the marks we make.

Other activities have included an alphabet sand dig and a sea shell discovery activity where we used magnifying glass to study shells up close while feeling, exploring and describing them.

We are proud to share here some of the children’s beautiful finished work.
