My Communication (Eq)
- Call and Response - This style of communication encourages our students to recall and retell a story. This would then lead to students being able to tell their own stories, including what they have done at weekends.
- Greeting someone new - Learning the skill of greeting new people, using sign, symbols or verbal communication to encourage a conversation.
- Narratives/ Sensory Story - This would build on the call and response style of communication of recalling and retelling a story.
Wren Offer

| Music | Within our Music sessions we use instruments, background music and stories as a basis for understanding and feeling rhythm, timing, and to be able to experience and make sound. |

- Sensory story
Students engage in a weekly sensory story, using a visual story and physical props. Topics include: The Jungle Book; The Greatest Showman; and Harry Potter. This develops communication, literacy, and listening skills, as well as encouraging group participation.
