Henry's Senses

EYFS, KS 1. Early Years, First Stage.

Ages 1 - 5

DURATION: 45 mins - 55 mins

 

OVERVIEW: Our story is about Henry (and his pet rat, called Beans). Together, they learn about all the animals that they meet whilst exploring local habitats, big and small! 

 

Henry learns about senses and how animals use them with their surroundings. Children will be able to relate them to their own and have an opportunity to explore senses (but not taste, yuck) with some members of ZooLab’s animal team.

Why learn through storytelling?

Using storytelling as a mechanism in teaching involves structuring learning around a narrative. It helps children (and adults) make sense of issues and topics by engaging them in a story, making facts easier to remember and participants more open to learning.

​

The benefits of learning through storytelling does not stop at increasing knowledge of the subject area - storytelling encourages creativity, expands vocabulary, increases attention span and helps to reinforce morals.
