PMLD Sensory Thematic Units
To Infinity and Beyond
On this page
In this unit learners gain an awareness of outer space and space travel. This awareness is developed and embedded through a range of carefully planned and personalised sensory experiences such as poetry, stories, songs, ICT, art and music.
These activities are suggestions only. You can adapt or extend them to suit your learners’ age, cognitive ability and specific needs.
Please note: before beginning an activity, check that all the resources are suitable for your individual learners. For example, some essential oils may not be appropriate for young children and others may have contraindications for learners with complex medical needs, life-threatening conditions and/or epilepsy. It is advisable to consult a trained therapist before using essential oils.
