Thousands of miles from Earth, on the far side of the universe, is
a small planet, Fliptune. It is dark and cold, far from the sun,
behind a much bigger planet.
Little green aliens live there. They use torches to see.
One day, a young alien, Neila, put the wrong batteries in her
torch.
Suddenly, there was a dazzling beam of light. It went up into the
sky, around the Sun, and hit planet Earth.
The light hit a boy called Billy and his dog, Splodge. Neila quickly
turned the torch off, but the pair were sucked up by the light.
They flew through space and landed near Neila.
“Hello,” said Billy. Neila waved.
“Wow!” said Billy. “Everything’s made of ice cream!” Splodge
licked his paw.
“The ice cream never melts, and nobody eats it. It’s too cold
here,” said Neila.
“It will in my tummy,” thought Splodge.
Neila looked sad. “Can you help us?” she said. “We need
sunshine to make things grow.”
“No problem,” said Billy. “Can you get us home? I have an idea.”
“Wait there!” said Neila.
She got her torch and put the wrong batteries in again.
ZOOOOOOOOM! Billy and Splodge were speeding back to Earth.
Billy pointed his bedroom mirror between the sun and Fliptune.
The sun’s rays bounced off the mirror and up onto Neila’s planet.
Thanks to Billy, Fliptune is not cold any more. Splodge moves the
mirror each day to keep the sun shining there. Now, Neila and her
friends sit in the sun and enjoy all that free ice cream.

Hello Isidro. Congratulations for your blog. I love the colors and the general appearance as well as the activities, which are assorted and well explained. If I were a kid I would like it. I personally use more listenings. You could include one for this story for instance to complete the activity and therefore learning.
ResponderEliminarAhh, one detail, it would be better if the the link (for the worksheet) opened in a different window. And that´s very simple: when you insert the link, you just tick the box: "abrir este enlace en una ventana nueva".
