The Solar System Song

Como repaso para adjetivos comparativos y superlativos, algo de vocabulario y refrescar la memoria en 5º y 6º, una canción tranquila con un texto sencillo sobre el sistema solar para finalizar una clase.

I used a filling gap exercise with the superlatives and comparatives and some other words. I added Pluto to the lyrics and talked about wether it is considered as a planet or not. We also coloured the solar system and drew the moons to the planets.

I am the Sun.

I’m a burning ball of fire.

I’m very big indeed.

Life on earth depends on me.

I am the sun.

I am Mercury.

I’m the closest planet to the sun.

I’m a ball of iron — I have no moons.

I am Mercury.

I am Venus.

I’m the same size as the Earth

but I spin the other way and much more slowly.

I have no water — I am Venus.

I am the Earth.

The place where we all live.

There is land and lots of sea so I look blue.

I have a moon.

I am the Earth.

I am Mars.

I’m a rocky, red planet.

My mountains are the highest in our solar system.

I have 2 moons.

I am Mars.

I am Jupiter.

I’m a gas giant.

I’m the biggest and I spin the fastest.

I have the biggest moon.

I am Jupiter.

I am Saturn.

I’m a gas giant.

My rings are made of ice.

Titan is my biggest moon.

I am Saturn.

I am Uranus.

I’m an icy gas giant.

I’m the coldest planet in our solar system.

And I have rings made of dust.

I am Uranus.

I am Neptune.

I’m an icy gas giant.

I’m the farthest planet from the sun.

I have many storms.

I am Neptune.

***I am Pluto,

I’m the Closest Dwarf Planet,

Mostly made of rock and lots of ice,

I have four known moons,

I am Pluto.

We are the solar system...

We are the solar system...
