Hello SLD Forumers! This horrible story is a sensory story with a difference! It’s a ‘make your own’ sensory story with gaps in the lines which are designed to allow you to personalise it for your own class! The poem is about horrible Webster Witch who is popping parts of the pupils from your class (a lock of hair, a bogey etc.) into her Grotty Pot to make a new ugly potion. The focus of the story is body awareness so make sure to have lots of lovely contact with your pupils! Have fun!

So, cast a spell and download the potion (4.9mb) by clicking the picture of Webster below.

STUFF YOU NEED: First off, you need a sense of humour (but you've already got one of those or you wouldn't be a teacher, right?), next you need either PowerPoint XP or PowerPoint viewer which you can get free from here.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELLING THE STORY!

When telling the story you should start by getting the students comfy then say the first student's name before reading the first line, then have your willing and evil assistant to perform each sensory stimulation. Say the next student's name, repeat the line and have your henchman/henchlady perform the dastardly deed on them and so on. This heightens the anticipation and structures the session nicely. Sorry to patronise people, but I have seen sensory stories done badly and it's a waste! Most of all, have fun with it.
