Space
In our first lesson of our new topic – Space – children have been learning about each planet within our solar system. We watched this video to help us remember some key facts:

Children then made mnemonics to remember the order of the planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Here’s some of the mnemonics the children created:
My Very Excited Monkey Jumped Straight Up Nicely
Married Vultures Eat Melon Jam Stood Up Neatly – Lily and Valerie
Many Voted Everyone Must Jwalk Sideways Under Nigeria – Tommy
My Very Early Morning Just Sat Under Nappies – Leo S
My Very Eager Mum Just Sat Under Netting – Willow
My Vine Extremely Made Jam Sandwiches Upstairs Now – Christian
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos – Teddy
Help at home – Can your child tell you any facts about the planets? What order are they from the sun? Find a creative way to display the planets.
