Help pupils explore the Solar System, planets, gravity and space exploration while creating a meaningful record of thinking rather than completing another worksheet.

This Solar System Learning Journal for Years 5 & 6 combines science, reading, listening, discussion and reflection. Pupils gradually build a two-page journal spread, recording key facts, vocabulary, questions, ideas and reflections as their understanding develops.

Includes:

• Learning Journal presentation and printables
• Solar System assembly
• non-fiction science reading text
• listening comprehension activities
• linked video support
• sentence starters and journal templates

Pupils explore the eight planets, the Sun, gravity and orbits, moons, asteroids, comets, dwarf planets and why space exploration matters.

Ideal for KS2 Science, Earth and Space, English, science journals and cross-curricular learning, with flexible support for EAL, SEND and reluctant readers or writers.
