Space Poems

Today in Year 5, as part of our Space theme, the task was simple ... recreate and remix our favourite songs. carols or nursery rhymes into a poem about the solar system! We all took turns to perform them to the rest of the Year 5 with some fantastic results.
Here is an example of today's work; written by Harrison and Ethan.

SPACE
(to the tune of: what does the fox say?)

Mercury's 1st, lost its air
now it has no atmosphere
Next comes Venus, hot as toast
it feels like its gonna roast.
Third is earth, gravity
make sure we don't fly freely
but now were out of our home.

Chorus:
Were going orbital!
dizzy, dizzy, dizziness! (x3)
Were going orbital!
Heada, heada, headaches! (x3)
were going orbital!

Our neighbour, the red mars
is named by a chocolate bar
Fifth in line, Jupiter, colder than Venus by far
next around, Saturn's ring ..
Suddenly I see IQ

Chorus.
WE HAVE ALMOST FINISHED! To name the planets
