In Year 5 we have been learning all about Earth and Space. This week we looked at how planets orbit, rotate and move in the Solar System and around the Sun. We discussed the different theories that people have had throughout history on how the planets move and created our own drama, showing how people’s beliefs have changed from the Geocentric (Earth-centred) model, to the Heliocentric (Sun-centred) model.
