Paper Mache Planets

Because we are learning about the planets and our solar system at the moment, we have been constructing our own planets out of paper mache.

The first thing we did was blow up our balloons, and then we attached some string so that we could hang them, and put our names on them.

Once we had done that we put on our paint jackets and got stuck into the glue! We covered our balloons in glue and then started to add little bits of paper to our balloon.

Our planets are currently drying in class if you want to come and see them. We have added another layer of paper, and just have one more to go before we start to paint them!

We have been practising our planet song as well so that we know all the awesome facts about our planets.
