Solar System Planets - Montessori EYFS

(0)
A hands-on solar system activity for EYFS and KS1. Children cut out nine planets and place them in order from the Sun onto a painted night-sky mat, then check their own work. What children will explore Order of the planets - which body comes next as you travel outward from the Sun Distance from the Sun - that each planet sits further out than the last, and the order never changes Naming and vocabulary - every planet named, read and matched independently Relative size - Jupiter the largest and Mercury the smallest, in the correct order of size Self-correction - each position on the mat is labelled, so children check their own work rather than waiting to be told Meet the planets The Sun - the star at the centre of it all Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars - the four small rocky planets Jupiter and Saturn - the gas giants, one of them ringed with ice Uranus and Neptune - the ice giants, one pale green and one deep blue The Moon - included as Earth’s own satellite, for the word as much as the body What’s inside - 9 pages Two ordering mats: A4 for table work, A2 for floor work A printer-friendly version of each mat, using a fraction of the ink Cut-out planets in two sizes, one set scaled for each mat A how to use page covering printing, cutting and assembly Why teachers and parents love this pack Every target circle on the mat is identical, so the activity cannot be solved by matching a shape to a hole. Children have to know the order. The printed names make the material self-correcting, which frees the adult to observe rather than mark Planets are painted from the real thing, with correct colours and features and no cartoon faces The A4 mat suits one child at a table; the A2 mat suits a pair or a small group on the carpet It grows with the class: start with placing, move on to naming, then to ordering from memory Reusable. Add hook-and-loop dots once, laminate if you like, and it lasts for years Scissors are the only thing you need Instant PDF download, 9 pages. A4, also fits US Letter. The two large mat pages are A2 and can be printed at a copy shop or scaled to fit at home. Print as many copies as you need for your class or family.
