The Solar System

our science topic has been the Solar System this term. So far we have created posters, newspaper reports,  leaflets and power points during our writing. We were learning to create informative texts.

We used our newspaper reports about the first ever moon landing and we  changed them into a script for a news report. You can see some examples on our school Twitter. We also have been working on taking notes from a text. We watched informative videos on the planets and took  notes then created a mind map poster.

We have also made power points to share information about all of the 8 planets in our solar system.

 

During art, we created papier-mache planets using different sized balloons to try and make scaled down replicas.  We have not yet finished but we are well on our way to a classroom sized solar system.
