Space and aliens activity
I would start off the lesson by asking a wondering question about space and aliens. For example: I wonder what aliens look like? I wonder what kind of things you would see in space? I would then ask the children to discuss this with their groups and draw something related to the questions. I will then play a Space and Alien game that can be found on Youtube to attract the attention of the children. We will then learn some songs and some facts about space and talk about aliens and what that means to them. The children will be given some junk art materials and in their groups they will be asked to make their version of what they think space looks like with aliens in it. We will finish off by exploring what kinds of things would aliens like/dislike about living on Earth and the reasons for this.
