Half term this week chaps, and the eldest has a project to complete: display your knowledge of the Solar System, which can include 3-D models....

Well, they're playin' my tune....

Cool!

Will Mars have a tiny rover driving on the surface?

Not at this scale - I don't think the school has a microscope...!

Of course it will! You can't see it cos your'e looking in the wrong place. A Jules Verne Cavour capsule is on the moon too, if you look hard enough!!

As a retired primary school teacher, "Showing an interest in your child's work and giving help and encouragement is wonderful, doing it all for them is not" This model looks like the work of a child with an interested and helpful parent.........Well done. If I still had any gold stars left,I'd give you one!

Which planet has a bagel around it?

Nicely done- I remember doing a BUNCH of stuff with my kids when they were in school.

Ah! Downgraded to a 'minor planet' a few years ago - apparently doesn't count now...

Did you add a big rock about to hit the Earth too? Then it could double up as an astronomical and historical model
