Space themed lesson – as a starting point reading the story of ‘Aliens Love Underpants’ or ‘The Super Smelly Alien’. A sensory activity afterwards to make their own play-doh or moon sand. Create their own space station in their groups providing them with black paper and tinfoil. Numeracy ideas could be to record the number of launches, blast off and space missions that have taken place. They could also count the number of aliens they meet and number of days that they have been in space. Literacy could be incorporated by writing or drawing a flight plan, a launching checklist or control panel instructions. Visual arts can be incorporated using a directed drawing video on aliens from you tube or making their own alien spaceships using paper plates and a small clear container. For PE, they could make up their own alien dance – respond to music and move like an alien.
