This term our new topic is about Space.
We learnt about the order of the planets and made sculptures out of the planets using play dough. We found out that Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and that if you put all the other seven planets together they would still be smaller than Jupiter. The sun could fit one billion Earth’s in it with more room to spare for Jupiter that’s how big the sun is. Pluto was the smallest planet until Pluto became a dwarf planet and now Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system. The sun is actually a star and the stars you see in the sky are other sun’s are bigger but they look smaller because they are further away from us and our solar system.
This is us making craters out of flour and coco powder and we also added some sand into ours. We spread it about the box and dropped a tennis ball, shuttle cock, basket ball and a soft ball. We also piled up the mixture into like a mountain and then dropped the tennis ball on top of the mountain. Below you can see some of us making the sculptures of the planets using play dough. We had a piece of paper and measured the planets how far away they are from the sun in our solar system. .
By Me and Mc. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
