Room 8's Space Discoveries

We have been learning about space. We made a rocket ship to read books in at reading time. We have made some cool sun artwork and we have been learning how the earth and moon rotate around the sun. The moon goes around the earth. The sun is a star. We learnt that mecury goes fastest around the sun and has an iron core. We learnt that mars has a red spot that is twice the size of earth, it has sandstorms and giant volcanoes. We learnt that venus is the only planet that turns clockwise. We learnt that pluto is a dwarf planet. Earth is the only planet that you could live on. We learnt that saturn is the second largest planet.
