This week in science, we have been looking at the planets of the solar system, their relative sizes and distances. For your homework this week, we would like you to create a fact file on a planet of your choice.

You will need to use books and the internet to help you in your research. You can choose to present your work in any way you wish, but you must include lots of facts and good levels of detail.

As teachers, we love to learn something new - can you find a fact about the solar system that we have never heard before?! We cannot wait to read your fact files. Good luck year 5!
