Making Sense of Half Term

Content

The playlist will allow you to explore and utilise your five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) in two very different environments; indoors and outdoors. We want you to utilise your half term holiday to better understand how you experience the things around you and how you engage with them through your senses.
