Here's a resource and activity thread about my book PERIJEE AND ME (age 7+)! @FaberChildrens #homeschooling #homeschool #creativewriting #storytime #booktrusthometime #unitedbybooks #perijee #perijeeandme #edutwitter

This is the story of a girl who discovers an alien on the beach where she lives and decides to raise it in secret as a little brother! But there's just one problem - Perijee won't stop growing...

If you don't have the book, here's a video of me reading the first chapter! Apologies for the low productions values but my film studio recently went under, I had to sell my post-production team to buy loo roll:

ACTIVITY TIME!

Activity one
First off, keep you eyes peeled for my stream at 10.30am with @LitFilmFest - I'll be talking about how to create your own alien!

Activity two (30-45mins)
Imagine three types of alien - a cute one, an evil one, and a beautiful one! Draw a picture of each one and label it. Every label should have an adjective - use a thesaurus to find as many different words as you can!

Activity three (30-60mins)
Imagine a scene in a film where a character discovers an alien for the first time. Draw a storyboard to show what would happen - make sure to include your characters reaction! Would they be frightened? Amazed? Confused?

Activity four (45mins+)
Imagine you discovered an alien and decided to keep them as a secret! Write a diary of what might happen each day. Describe the alien and what strange things they do - what food would they like? What else might they need to survive?

Still want more activities? Here's a whole pack of them on my website! Wordsearches, posters, fill-in sheets, create your own alien, map making and more!
