Introducing our Create Your Own Aliens educational resource! This digital and interactive tool allows children to let their imagination run wild as they drag and drop different parts to create their very own alien. With a variety of premade examples to choose from, kids can also opt to experiment and make their own unique alien using the parts provided. Once created, these alien creations can easily be printed to put on display or in books, making it a fantastic addition to continuous provision in any educational setting. Encourage creativity and STEM learning with this fun and engaging activity that will spark children’s curiosity about the possibilities of outer space.

Create your own aliens in this drag and drop PowerPoint file. Choose from four different coloured bodies and six different body shapes. Then, customize them with various eyes, antennas, mouths and legs. Get your children to try and remake some of the pre-made aliens on the home page or simply let them get creative. Challenge them further by getting them to focus on number and shape. E.g. Create an alien with a mouth shaped like a pentagon, give it 5 eyes and 4 legs.

A step by step powerpoint which guides pupils in writing their own alien adventure story. Pupils are encouraged to write and draw at each step.

The students can use their new vocabulary/ target language to create their own real or alien words worksheet. On the back there is space for them to draw a picture and write some sentences about to encourage sentence level writing using new target language. This can be used at the end of any topic as a kind of revision. A good worksheet for low level young learners, can be used as a homework or for independent application of phonics, new vocabulary etc.

In this project students design their own alien world and create a leaflet that persuades people to visit it. I then asked students to present their ideas back to the class. Students work through each task (Mindmap, drawing a map, and creating a leaflet). There is an example of a leaflet that persuades people to visit Wonderland as part of the worksheet. There are also 6 optional extension tasks at the end of the worksheet to keep those early finishers occupied! N.B. Pupils will need some prior knowledge of the Science Fiction genre to complete this project successfully. This project would suit a KS3 class. Did you find this resource helpful?

Create your own assessment for learning (AFL) box which you can keep in your room and use over-and-over again. This resource contains everything you need to make AFL a part of your everyday teaching. From review activities (plenaries) to whole-class feedback, from cards to dice, this resource makes AFL quick and easy whatever subject and age-group you teach.

Topic based on aliens, 3 worksheets to improve creative writing. Worksheets can help to create a story.

One of my favourite units to deliver! You will find a complete plan and resource base to inspire your class to write an interactive story. Watch the powerpoint first (be patient in places) to remind yourselves of these stories. If this unit will suit your class (end of year unit maybe) it will run itself after you have it up and running. I have used it several times with great success. It differentiates itself and acts as long term homework / extension tasks as it can be never ending. Enjoy.

The Alien Landscape Lesson is a 2-3 hour lesson comprising of Lesson Plan, Powerpoint resources, photographs, artist links and handouts. It will show your students the principles of landscape drawing and painting, colour, depth of field, tonal range and scale etc. in an enjoyable and stimulating project that young people enjoy. Boys LOVE this project! Once your pupils have learned these principles they can move on to landscape painting with the knowledge and tools they need to do it successfully.

I designed this scheme of work nearly ten years ago and it is still as interesting and exciting now as it was then. It combines brilliantly with science lessons about life on other planets. It teaches young people how to design within design constraints, use their imagination and think about how different life evolves. Use it with my Alien Landscape project to get the full effect.

Continue the description of the alien world. Imagine that sometime in the future an explorer from an alien world returns to earth and is asked about what he saw. Read his account and show your students a copy, and then ask them to continue their descriptions, in detail, of other features observed in the alien world. At the end of this resource is a checklist to assist the prompting of ideas and some additional ideas for what to do with their finished written work. You will find that once your students see an example their minds will create their own ideas and write very original and interesting descriptions.

Hi! I have created a blending mat that can be used in a variety of different ways. The board has three different colour boxes which match with the sounds provided. The children can choose three different sounds to add to the boxes. They will then blend and read the nonsense alien word! I have included a few different sounds and a copy of the blank boxes for you to create your own sounds.

NEW STORY DICE TO CREATE YOUR OWN STORY! 3D Cube Nets to Create Story Dice to Roll, FUN English Game These are brilliant, especially if a student is struggling to think of his/her own ideas for a story… They simply have to roll the three dice at once!

Dice Three will give them a main problem out of: A Fire, a Volcano, an Explosion, a Flood, a Tornado or an Earthquake.
