Onsite SEND School Sessions and Resources

Use song, rhyme and multisensory learning to discover what life is like as an explorer on the high seas. Join in a rich sensory story set on a voyage of exploration from the islands of the South Pacific to the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle. Please let us know in advance what level your learners are working at and our skilled facilitators will tailor the session for their needs. 

Pupils will: 

• develop their social and communication skills
• explore and respond to different stimuli in a new environment
• take part in song, rhyme, role play and sensory learning. 

This three-part programme is designed to enrich life skills for SEND learners aged 16+. Visit the Museum three times over three weeks, to explore it as a place for learning, living and working. During the course, each learner will receive a skills book to record the entry level skills they develop and demonstrate. At the end of the course each learner will receive both their skills book and certificate of participation as a record of their achievements. 

After completing this course teachers can enquire about further work experience and volunteering opportunities at Royal Museums Greenwich for learners with SEND. 

Pupils will: 

• gain skills and knowledge in the area of employability 
• learn what a museum is for and who works there
• understand the social etiquette of a workplace
• develop communication skills through voicing preference and opinions
• explore Museum objects to develop basic enquiry skills
• identify the skills they have demonstrated relevant for Entry level 1 and 2. 

Come and join us on board! We will explore the ship and its objects, sing some songs and roleplay life on the high seas!

• acquire new vocabulary related to the ship and its history
