We created scale drawings of the planets found within the Solar System. We used compasses to draw the planets based on their reduced radius. We used a website which scaled down the sun to 10,000cm (10m) which allowed  us to work out the reduced diameter of the other planets.  If the sun is  10m in diameter then Earth would be 4. 2 cm.   We used our knowledge of the properties  of circles   and our measure skills to help us create a  scale drawing of our Solar System.

I liked   drawing the planets because it  was a bit of art mixed in with maths. Ryan

I can now identify the diameter and radius of a circle.  Julia

I enjoyed having the option of working with a peer because Jupiter was so big.
