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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
A beautiful variety of space/alien posters.

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.
