Something very strange landed in our outside learning area this week…..ALIENS! As part of our Moon Zoom topic Y1 became a team of space detectives discovering an unusual crash site. The children were instantly curious. Had a spaceship really landed here? Were aliens nearby? What had happened? Our budding scientists and writers looked closely at the clues using magnifying lenses. They used their oracy skills sharing ideas about what might have happened. What did the aliens look like? The children used their imaginations and made play dough space creatures. What language did they speak? We used our phonic skills to make and decode strange alien words. There was plenty of excitement, imagination and discussion. Our Moon Zoom theme has certainly taken our learning out of this world.
