Solar System Models

We were asked to make a model showing our solar system.  We had to think about three criteria: 

- to show the rough size of the planets

- to show the rough distance of the planets from the sun

- to show how the planets orbit the sun.  

It took us ages to make our Solar System.  We put the Sun in the middle with all the planets around it.  It was really hard to glue all the objects onto our model because the glue gun dries so fast!  We could show how the planets orbit the sun.  By Sam, Robert, Charlie and Niall.  

We wanted to create a Solar System Space suit.  It was fun making the space suit.  We could show the order of the planets and we thought about the size of the planets as well.  It was funny with Cara inside the space suit.  By Peyton, Charlie and Cara

We create a rocket solar system.  It was hard to make.  We had fun making it.  We could move our planets to show how they move in space.  By Karla, Kymberleigh, Maja and Charlotte.  

It took us two days to make our model.  We hung the planets on invisible string so they could move.  We added a fan and a light to make them look more realistic.  By Johnny, Jamie and Christopher. 

We wanted the planets to be able to spin so we attached them with straws.  We made it glittery to look like the night sky.  We added lots of paint to make it look colourful.  By Sienna, Tamsin, Freya and Olivia.

We got all of the planets and added some extra dwarf planets and moons aswell.  It was easy to make and took us a long time.  By Aiden, Daniel, Dean and Cody.
