Sensory Workshops

Our workshops are always so popular art Children's House. Families are always very willing to get involved in school life and support the learning and development of their children. 
Over the past three weeks we have enjoyed a wonderful practitioner from Tower Hamlets Parental Engagement Team visiting Children's House to lead sensory exploration workshops.

We know that many children at differing stages of development may have sensory processing needs which we need to consider to help their overall development.
Hamida started with an information session for parents and carers: sharing ideas and opening up discussions to help them share their experiences and any issues they may need support with. We wanted carers to feel listened to. 

Next session, children joined their parents/carers and they followed a very simple recipe to make playdough together. The children and their carers then immersed themselves in the ingredients: mixing and pouring.
Once the playdough was ready, they explored together: rolling, stretching, prodding, cutting and folding. They talked and had fun together, sharing vocabulary, laughter, eye contact and joy.
​
The final session is this Friday (14 February at 9.15am at Children's House) please join if you can!
