Our Year 5 topic is ...

This week we launched our new topic of Stargazers by starting a paper mache of the Solar System. Once it has dried we will paint them to look like the planets and put them on display.

In English we discussed what a mnemonic was and created our own to remember the planet order. We shared these as a class.

In Science we went outside to look at the planet sizes and the distance between them.

In Maths we compared the planet sizes by looking at the diameter of each planet.

Questions:

How many planets are in the solar system?

What mnemonic would you use to remember the planet order?
