<p><strong>Free-flow ideas for sci-fi fun!</strong></p> <p>Your class will love thinking up feature ideas for an alien, and independent writers will be keen to fill up the lines of this sheet with their descriptions. Are the alien’s eyes rolling, red, twinkly as stars, or different again? Could its skin be soggy, spiky, scorching as desert sand or covered in green hair, perhaps? Discuss possibilities with the class to unlock minds, and let each read out a line afterwards. See my other free alien writing sheet too, for a format variation - also my other space writing sheets, featuring planets, stars, and space rhymes.</p>

<p>The aliens are all my own design and those who have the same sound but a different way of writing it are the same shaped alien but a different colour, helping to identify sound families. This carries over to the Phase 5 version.</p> <p>There is an alien for each sound and 6 sets of underwear (vest and underpants). Vests have real words and the underpants have nonsense words.<br /> This resource has been designed to be open ended and used in many ways. Some ideas for how to use are listed below:<br /> Matching – match either vest or underpants or even both to the alien that has the sound that’s in the words.<br /> Pick a pair – match a vest and underpants that contain the same sound. Or match the alien to either the vest or the underpants.<br /> Sorting – sort the alien words from the real words.<br /> Bingo – pick either a vest or underpants and read the word. Hold up the alien whose sound is in the word.<br /> Display – make a washing line, place an alien next to it. Sort out which underwear belongs to him and hang it on the line.</p> <p>A fun resource to practice pseudo words and phonics that will fit into your Alien or space topics.</p>

I have a challenging Y9 Spanish group made up of all boys. I took them to the computer room and told them they were investigative reporters who were interested in the supernatural and the unexplained. They were then given this task sheet and I have never seen them so focussed. They all decided it was alien in origin and won't be persuaded otherwise, even when I told them about the severed heads.

<p>Bring fun and laughter into your space studies with this two-page, quick-fire roll of crazy, snappy rhymes about aliens, rockets, stars and more! Most are couplets, with a few 4-line verses too, and all are bonkers! They’ll inspire variations and brand new rhymes from your class, boosting their literacy skills.</p> <p>The rhymes are my own, and I’ve used some in my space poetry sessions.</p> <p><strong>TIPS for class rhymes</strong> - I recommend starting with “space”, eliciting a list of single words that rhyme with it to write below. Then fill up the line leading up to “space”, e.g. I saw an alien up in space, and finally think up a line to end with your rhyming word, e.g. She was doing up her lace. Have fun!</p> <p>**SEE ALSO ** - PLANET poetry frame (Yrs 2-4) - <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planet-poetry-frame-ys-2-4-12018025">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planet-poetry-frame-ys-2-4-12018025</a> + Planet picture-poem frame (KS2) - <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planet-picture-poem-frame-ks2-guidance-sheet-11886984">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planet-picture-poem-frame-ks2-guidance-sheet-11886984</a></p>

A short phonics session on adjacent consonant (day 5, phase 4). <br /> * Starts off with a timer used for a quick recap of learnt phonemes. <br /> * It then moves onto HFW. <br /> * The following slide allows the children to read the words by segmenting and then blending (with the aid of sound buttons and lines).<br /> * Next the children are required to sort the words into real words and alien words (i.e. nonsense words). <br /> *Make up silly words (using the phonemes and phoneme frame) for children to segment and blend<br /> * Finally ask the children to read the sentence to apply their knowledge.<br /> <br /> TIP: you can extend your lesson by providing the children an opportunity to write some of the words using their phonics skills.<br /> <br /> (SMART new version - could possibly transfer to PPT presentation if SMART Notebook does not work)<br /> <br /> ***THIS CAN ALSO BE USED AS A ONE-OFF SESSION***
