Mark,
given that this is a cross curricular course, but sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland, here are some science suggestions that might connect to your outline:
How to say hello, Alien names and colours in their alien’s language. – Use Sound > identify and differentiate between high and low sounds, loud and soft sounds
Make aliens using different materials and fabrics – and describe the materials (describe and compare materials, noting the differences in the colour, shape and texture) and as an extension activity explain why those materials were used in terms of their properties [… the alien’s head is shiny, so I am using sweet wrappers that are shiny etc]
Plus, by sorting the aliens by colour / number of eyes etc they can:
Living Things / Plant and Animals • sort and group living things into sets
Energy and Forces / Light
- identify and name different colours
- sort objects into sets according to colour
