Setting Description Sensory Mat

About this printable

This printable is a structured sensory mat with five labelled columns (Sight, Sound, Smell, Touch, Taste) containing example 'Words to try' and lined 'Your ideas' spaces, plus a short writing box prompting pupils to turn ideas into 3–5 sentences. It also includes a 'Don't forget' checklist of tips and a 'Useful words' bank (place, time, weather, mood, describing) to broaden vocabulary. Use it as a scaffold for modelling sensory description, guided practice or independent descriptive writing tasks.
