Beyond Words is a charity that provides books and training to support people who find pictures easier to understand than words. Whether supporting somebody with a learning disability or communication difficulty, our resources empower people through pictures.They have a collection of books which are free to download. These include:
- Beating the Virus – A short wordless story, that will help people to understand what to do if you have Coronavirus and how to keep yourself and those who you care about safe. The story also shows how to safely help others who may be self-isolating. Supplementary text at the end of the story gives information on where people can seek help if they are unwell and signposts to other useful resources.
- Good Days and Bad Days During Lockdown – A wordless booklet with scenes from existing Beyond Words stories looking at what makes a ‘good day’ and what makes a ‘bad day’.Scenes address social distancing, lockdown, mental health and daily routines.
Under the Sea Project
The topic this term is all about water so a story has been created based on exploring things under the sea. This is a project that should last you until the end of summer term. We would normally do a PMLD Extravaganza show to perform to the whole school. However in light of current circumstances we thought it might be nice for you to explore your own drama. There are ideas of things that you could make, props, puppets, costumes etc. You can use plastic bottles, cereal boxes anything that you can find in the home to make props with. There should be something to explore for each slide. If you can find things you have at home for them to explore that are water based, or you may have sea creature toys that you can put in a tray of water. The power point is just merely a guide line you don’t have to follow it all. Feel free to make it your own with whatever resources you have at home. I have put some music links to go with each slide. Feel free to choose other music would fit best for your drama. We look forward to seeing/hearing about your end product.
