02 Millie The Mermaid and Flo Longhorn

Pete Wells Sensory Stories Podcast

Join me, Pete Wells, for the streaming number two that is the Pete Wells Sensory Stories Podcast - Episode 2! This episode features an interview with a very special guest and all round good egg, the Queen of Sensory Education herself, the wonderful Flo Longhorn! I also prattle on about how to deliver sensory stories to a range of learners at a range of developmental levels. The featured story this episode is Millie - The Mermaid Who Couldn’t Swim. I will tell the story before completely deconstructing it, exploring how and why to use the props, and alternatives to the props. I’ll also tell you how scampi is made, which may shock you! There’s also a bunch of lesson ideas to enhance the story too! You’ll find all the things you need for the story at the new website https://sensorystoriespodcast.com Timings are as follows:
