Space and Aliens
I would first start by introducing my lesson by singing the nursery rhyme “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.
I would also read the story “Back to Earth with a bump” from Twinkl to the children and we would discuss this. I would question the children on what they think the boy might have seen on his journey up to Space and hopefully they would feedback aliens.
We would discuss what we think aliens would look like and I would start by saying “Mine has 3 Green eyes, a purple body and spots on his back”. I would go around and ask some of the children what their alien looks like. To tie in with a lesson on Shape in Maths I would have some different shapes cut up and some for the children to cut up and they would have to make their own Shape Alien. This would also incorporate motor skills and Visual Arts.
