As part of our Engage for our new topic ‘Stargazers’, the children explored size and scale of the planets in our Solar System. They worked out the order of the planets and then had to match everyday objects to the planets to understand the scale. We used a melon for Jupiter, a grapefruit for Saturn, an apple for Uranus, a satsuma for Neptune, a cherry tomato for Venus and another for Earth, a blueberry for Mars, a peppercorn for Mercury and a fitness ball for the Sun.
