Learning the planets of the solar system

T1 came home this week singing an unfamiliar song to a familiar tune. It is quite clever how her school teaches them to remember by making them learn the facts through songs, since children are naturally predisposed to learning musically and it works!

Although T1 (being her father’s daughter, his ambition was to be an astronaut and so he has taught her everything about space) already knew the planets of the solar system since she was very young, she didn’t know the configuration in which they were placed. But now she does!

Allow me to share the song the school taught so your kids too can benefit. It is about the planets sung to the tune of the nursery rhyme, THIS OLD MAN.

MERCURY, NUMBER ONE

IT IS CLOSEST TO THE SUN

CHORUS: WITH A ROUND, ROUND, GO AROUND, PLANETS ROUND THE SUN, SING ABOUT THEM EVERYONE!!

VENUS BRIGHT, NUMBER TWO

MORNING AND EVENING ‘STAR’ WE VIEW CHORUS

PLANET EARTH, NUMBER THREE

WE LIVE ON IT, YOU AND ME CHORUS

PLANET MARS, NUMBER FOUR

NAMED FOR A ROMAN GOD OF WAR CHORUS

NUMBER FIVE, JUPITER

COLOURED CLOUDS AROUND IT STIR CHORUS

NUMBER SIX, BIG SATURN

MANY RINGS AROUND IT TURN CHORUS

NUMBER SEVEN, URANUS

IT LOOKS BLUE AND GREEN TO US CHORUS

NUMBER EIGHT, STORMY NEPTUNE

TRITON IS ITS FROZEN MOON CHORUS

NUMBER NINE, DWARF PLUTO

FARTHEST FROM THE SUN, YOU KNOW CHORUS
