Science

To finish their solar system fact files. The children have been working these for 2 weeks so they all know exactly what they are doing. The steps for completing the fact file are;

  1. All information/research to be filled in.

  2. Colour all of the planets.

  3. Carefully cut out each planet, including its information box.

  4. Cut out the small circle at the bottom of each of the boxes.

  5. Place your split pin through all of your planet sheets to create a fan (cover sheet ‘The Planets, the Sun and the Moon’ should be at the front).

  6. Take a picture of your child holding their fact fan, which is to be stuck into their book.

    Children will have 2 weeks to complete this, so it will be due on Thursday 23rd March. Here is what a finished fact fan would look like.
