There are so many great picture books suggested in the previous posts which I look forward to using. The picture book that I have used for the theme of Aliens is “Here come the Aliens” by Colin McNaughton. The illustrations are fantastic and stimulate great conversation about what an Alien might look like. I have also used MSIP – MarsActivities from the Mars Education Program Jet propulsion laboratory Arizona. Lesson 5 of the booklet Searching for life on Mars has great activities including Imaginary Martians and Mars Critters are very suitable for use with young children. I have this activity booklet downloaded to my computer but I can’t seem to be able to find the original source to share on this post.
I am in Sen currently and linked with the Junior Infants again. I am looking forward to Space Week this week and plan on exploring the theme of Space and Aliens using some of the ideas for matching, sorting and creating Aliens within the small groups that I will be working with.
Frances those Alien resources from tiger are great, thanks again for sharing them.
