P6 and P7 were doing Maths outside on Tuesday.  They were working out how much space there is in the Solar System.

There are millions of kilometres between each planet so they made up their own scale by using toilet paper.  One sheet of toilet paper represented 50 million kilometres!  The furthest planet from the sun, Neptune, was 90 sheets of toilet paper away.  They were surprised how far apart some of the planets are, especially the planets furthest away from the sun.  They came to the conclusion that SPACE IS HUGE!
