What your child will learn

• Identify the major components of our Solar System, including the Sun and planets.
• Recognise the names of the planets in our Solar System.
• Understand the basic relationship between the Sun and the Earth.
• Recall fundamental facts about Earth's movements.
• Practice vocabulary related to the Solar System.

Understanding the concept

Our Solar System is like a giant cosmic family, with the Sun as its brilliant center. The Sun is a massive star, and its incredible gravitational pull keeps all the planets, including our Earth, orbiting around it. Think of it like spinning a ball on a string – the ball keeps going in a circle around your hand. There are eight main planets in our Solar System, each with its own unique characteristics. In order from the Sun, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Our planet, Earth, is special because it's the only one we know of that has life! Earth does two important things: it spins on its own axis, which gives us day and night, and it also travels in a big circle around the Sun, which causes the seasons and takes one full year. Understanding these basic ideas helps us appreciate our place in the vast universe and how everything works together in space.

Tips for parents & teachers

• Encourage your child to read the questions carefully and underline keywords before answering.
• Discuss each question together after completion to clarify any misconceptions.
• Use a physical model or drawing of the Solar System to reinforce planet order and movements.
• Connect the concepts to real-world observations, like how day and night occur.
• Praise effort and participation, focusing on learning rather than just getting all answers correct.
