Welcome to Year 5

---

From Friday 14th October to Sunday 6th November, Liverpool welcomes the 8.1km scale model walking trail of the Solar System.  Begin at the Sun on Church Street, make your way along the city’s iconic waterfront and Trans Pennine Trail before finishing in Otterspool where Pluto awaits.

In the Spring term, Year 5 study the Solar System. Visiting even a part of this will really help them to understand the sizes of the Sun and planets and the distances between them.
