Fact sheets about the planets in our solar system, the Sun and our Moon.
A5 fact sheets (once A4 folded back to back) for a Reading Corner, Topic Board, Writing Corner, Science Resources – or alternatively used as A4 posters.
A lot of useful information!
Each fact sheet includes information about the planet, its size, distance from the Sun, how many hours in a day, how many days in a year, temperature on the surface, number of moons, when and who first recorded it. Each one has the space craft which was used to explore the planet.

This class assembly is all about Space. It discusses the Sun and the 8 planets within, then moves on to the earth and its rotation and orbit of the sun. It talks about Constellations and ends with a dramatic entrance from a spacecraft with a ‘mini’ Neil Armstrong emerging and discuss about the 1st landing on the moon. You would need to build a make-shift space craft for a child to fit into. We used 4 large bit of card-board and stuck tin foil all around it and made an American flag. The children loved it. We also found a kid’s spacesuit for our mini Neil Armstrong. You will also need the Sun and Planets blow ups, easily and cheaply purchased from Amazon. It doesn’t come with a Space song, but again songs with lyrics are easily found through a simple youtube search.
