I choose Space and Aliens.
I would start with the story Aliens Love Underpants by Claire Freedman. I would also show a clip from the movie Monsters vs Aliens.
After discussing the story and what else aliens might love, how they would feel if they landed in our classroom we would move on to other integrated lessons.
1. Creative art – making aliens – I would get the children to cut out any shape in card that they would then paint the colour of their choosing. While that is drying they can cut out legs and arms using coloured sugar paper. I would remind them that they can use as many or as few arms and legs as they like. They will then assemble them and stick on as many or as few googly eyes as they feel is right.
2. Maths – colours – we would use the aliens they made and do a little show and tell, describing the colour of the body and the arms & legs. Counting and adding on – we would use they aliens in pairs/groups and count how many legs/arms/eyes individually and combined.
3. Drama – the children could explore the classroom as aliens – what do the things around the room do, how do they work? We could discuss communication methods.
4. Construction – using blocks/lego/mobilo or other items around the classroom the children could construct alien spacecraft.
