Space: Mini Fruit Solar System

Today, P2/3 made a solar system out of fruit. They used a raisin (Mercury), a blueberry (Venus), a grape (Earth), a raspberry (Mars), grapefruit (Jupiter), an orange (Saturn), a tangerine (Uranus) and a plum (Neptune).

The children worked in their groups to figure out the order of the fruits comparing them in size to the planets.

After that, we added the fruit to a skewer to make our very own mini fruit solar system. The children loved trying the fruits as we were making our solar systems, the oranges seemed to be the favourite!

Amazing work P2/3!
