Step into a world of spells, scuttling spiders, and purring cats where every moment is told through the eight senses. The Sensory Witch, is designed to support neurodiverse, PMLD, sensory and SEND learners through immersive, inclusive storytelling inviting story participants to experience a witch-themed sensory story through a multisensory lens.
This resource activates the five main senses—Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste, Smell—and the three hidden senses—Proprioception (body awareness), Vestibular (balance and movement), and Interoception (internal sensations)—to create a rich, accessible experience for every learner.
Each poetic moment is paired with:
– Easy-to-source props that bring the story to life.
– Full facilitation guidance step by step support to help you deliver your sensory story with clarity, confidence and consistency ensuring every moment is purposeful, inclusive and adaptable to the needs of neurodiverse, PMLD, sensory and SEND learners.
-Comprehensive learning objectives to help you plan, differentiate, and assess with clarity and confidence
– Linkage notes for each sensory domain. Each couplet story focuses on one sense with a sensory linkage note that explains how it supports each sense.
These notes help you:
– Understand the sensory purpose behind each prop or cue.
– Adapt activities to suit varied learner profiles.
