30 Jan Creating our own solar system!
Having explored how the planets orbit the sun, the children in Year 2 co-operated as a year group, using the technique of papier mache to create their own Solar System.
They carefully laid layers of paper over the balloons, bowls and even a gym ball! They covered the paper with glue and waited for each layer to dry before they added another. Then they carried on adding layers until each planet was strong.
Once they were dry the children painted them to represent each planet based on what they now know about the Solar System. They were inspired by books and images of the solar system, along with an amazing model made and thoughtfully donated by a past pupil, Tommy, who is now in Year 5!
