Year 5 reach for the stars!

Our Year 5 children have been having a fantastic time exploring our space theme! They have been learning all about the planets in our solar system and discovering some amazing facts about the world beyond our own.

To bring their learning to life, we took our space adventure outside onto the playground! The children worked together to draw the planets, using a smaller scale to help show the differences in their sizes. It was lovely to see them thinking carefully about how big or small each planet should be, whether it has rings or moons and where it belongs in our solar system.

There was lots of excitement, teamwork and discussion as the planets began to take shape on the playground. The children really enjoyed getting creative, sharing their knowledge and seeing our solar system come to life.
