RUNR SENSORY PLAYSPACES
Thame, UK 2021
Part of our funded outdoor learning events, involved a series of sensory making activities, exploring shelter, nature and colour, and of course ended in a paint fight. Revenge at last for the young folks on us all!
Still in the aftermath of Covid, we naturally worked with smaller groups across two sites. Sensory painting, play and making and learning about the value of grounding, balancing and sensory feedback through age appropriate language.

ECO WORKSHOP
Beekeeping, the good and bad effects of rain and sun, and homemade paint were the topics of our eco workshop. We benefit from a wealth of amazing skills from our wider network of educators and creative artists, and so are able to make any aspect of the curriculum into a making activity, or sensory exploration. We like to engage with cross curricular learning and always do things at a memorable scale.
This was a day long workshop for outdoor learning, movement, team working, deaf awareness, and creative play. The groups were still subject to some lockdown restrictions, so we worked on a series of art pieces in group, exploring rhyme, texture, colour and nature. We might have got a bit messy, not like us at all!
