To get to know the Solar System. Students work with models of the Solar System using different scales, ratios and relative distances from the Sun. They measure, plan, complete models of the Sun and planets in the Solar System using a variety of materials. They will also draw and paint a huge Sun in 2D. Modelling clay, plaster strips, balloons, wool and glue can be used to create scale models of the planets in 3D. The students go outside in the vicinity of the school to place the planets at the correct distances from the sun. Philosophical conversations about the universe are also explored as part of the reflection.

An animated film introduces the students to the Solar System and by assessing their sizes, colours and other facts for each planet, they work on placing the planets into their correct order from the Sun. The students work to create a huge Sun of 3.3 metres in diameter and also the planets in the Solar System using various craft techniques. They then place the planets the correct distance from the Sun in an outdoor location in the vicinity of the school. The adults decide on the content for session 6 based on the interests of the students. The students travel on a space mission in the warm-up, and they answer a quiz about the Solar System in their reflection of each session.
