Aliens The topic of Aliens is such an exciting one in Reception. Here I have drafted a letter which has been sent by Alien Zenc returning the class mascot and asking the children if they would like to visit the moon. This stimulates conversation, understanding of the world and an attempt to write letters back.

This is the response from the children to the alien written in list format. There are words to stimulate the children’s responses (Which can be accompanied by images to suuport)
