I have used the storybook “Welcome to Alien School” with infants before. I would begin by asking the children to predict what they think the story is about. When we have finished the story we will discuss the various activities that took place and what were their favourite and also what activities they think should be involved in Alien School. We brainstormed the things that were similar and different that took place in Alien School and our school. As a class we would discuss the uniform and the rules that may be included in Alien School along with what the school would look like. The class would be split up into groups and they would role play the different activities that would take place in their ideal Alien Schools.
Theis can be integrated with Visual Arts where the children create their own Aliens by designing what they would look like and describe their characters to the class in the Artist’s Chair.
I have linked this topic with music before where the children learn the song/poem “Zoom, Zoom, Zoom”. The children would familiarise themselves with the rhyming words in the song and we would create our own actions to go with the song to help the children to remember the lyrics.
