Year 5 How do you remember the names of the planets?

We have had an 'out of this world' start to this term. We are continuing to read Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce, which is about a group of children that get stuck in space. In Science, we are learning about our solar system. This week we learnt the names and order of the planets. Did you know that Venus rotates in the opposite direction to all other planets? Uranus rotates on its side. Our favourite mnemonic to remember the order of the planets is: Most Very Elderly Men Just Sleep Under Newspaper. We are looking forward to the Wonder Dome visit next week. Come back for more details then.
