We, the Little Explorers from Malta, are having Adventures in Space.We discuss together what an alien is and where they live. We decide to invent aliens and their lives.We start by drawing aliens. Each of us invent our own alien.

We also imagine and make aliens out of

dough.

We discuss where the aliens live. We know that they live on other planets. We imagine that they live in a village which is very colourful. Their houses are full of colour. So we decide to turn our theatre room at school into an alien village. We call the village Chiri Village.We sponge paint long sheets of paper with shapes and then we cover the theatre and cupboards with these paper to make alien houses.

Our theatre room where we read books and play at make believe.

We make an alien car with a big antenna. We also make alien trees with recycled

CDs from our junk box.

Chiri Village

In Chiri Village live aliens. So we make believe we are aliens. We imagine that the aliens are also very colourful. We make alien costume to dress up in.

In Chiri, our alien village there are alien families. This is the XEMMI family with

Minku, Minka, Gejxa, Nati and Dizu.

The AZZA family with Sigorg, Shila, Zingzart, and Akka.

The SANNA Family with Chappi, Per, Osi and Kixa.

The FIRI family with Akkara, Kira Akkar and Sishri.

The TURA family with Aar, China and Fer.

Now each alien and family has a name which of course we invented. And it was fun being so

imaginative. Now we can take on alien roles in our Chiri Village. The aliens buy and cook their food. Oh

we are so busy!!!

The aliens clean their colourful houses

The alien children like to play all day

long. They play with alien toys. They

play with magnets.

The aliens like music so we make alien

musical instruments out of objects we find

in our classroom.

The aliens also like to dance and sing

The aliens gaze at the stars

The aliens go to sleep.

We have fun

imagining we are aliens
