year 6: In space

 

 

 

 In Unit 4 we are going to talk about space, the solar system, the planets and its characteristics.

 

 

Thus, here you are the lyrics of a simple song you should listen to and study, too.

 

I am the sun. I'm a burning ball of fire. I'm very big indeed.
Life on earth depends on me. I am the sun.

I am Mercury. I'm the closest planet to the sun.
I'm a ball of iron -- I have no moons. I am Mercury.

I am Venus. I'm the same size as the Earth but I spin the other way and much more slowly.
I have no water -- I am Venus.

I am the Earth the place. The where we all live. There is land and lots of sea so I look blue.
I have a moon. I am the Earth.

I am Mars. I'm a rocky, red planet. My mountains are the highest in our solar system.
I have 2 moons. I am Mars.

I am Jupiter. I'm a gas giant. I'm the biggest and I spin the fastest. I have the biggest moon. I am Jupiter.

I am Saturn. I'm a gas giant. My rings are made of ice. Titan is my biggest moon. I am Saturn.

I am Uranus. I'm an icy gas giant. I'm the coldest planet in our solar system. And I have rings made of dust. I am Uranus.

I am Neptune. I'm an icy gas giant. I'm the farthest planet from the sun. I have many storms. I am Neptune.

We are The Solar System.

 

Moreover, I've already post the website  link for you to have further information about the planets.
Good luck!
