Outta This World Questions

This week we have researched on questions that my teacher have gave me. These are the answers.


How was space created?

What planet was discovered first in the solar system?


Uranus was discovered first by Sir William Herschel in 1781. Herschel became famous in the 18th century because he had found the first planet.

Scientists believe that the Solar System was created from a giant cloud of dust and gas. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the
weight of its own gravity. As it did so, the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle, much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle

‘My dream Outta This World Holiday.’


This term we have been learning ‘Outta This World’ about the solar system. I have written a dream about when I was in Mercury.

‘My dream Outta This World Holiday.’

‘Brring........’ screamed the alarm. I tried to ignore it, I wanted to stay in my dream. My dream ‘Outta This World’ holiday.

When I was on Mercury I didn’t know what I was doing there. All I could feel was me floating and the hot air. As I was on the planet Mercury I felt like I was burning, but I wondered if Mercury was the hottest. As I was floating in the air I had noticed it was a rocky planet and very small.

I had been very far from home and seen nobody there expect me, myself and I. I saw a friend called Millenny, she was lost like me. So I went to her and she asked me, “what kind of planet are we on?”. I said “we are on the planet Mercury.” I suddenly thought why I was there. I remembered it is the smallest and the closest to the sun. I told Millenny to come with me and we would go look around at what kind of planet it was. We were walking around when we saw a big alien. Me and Millenny ran back and tried to find a way back home. We tried standing on rocks looking for a button to take us back. Suddenly I threw the rock at the alien and it all went black.

I woke back up and there I was lying in bed. That was the worst nightmare ever but thank goodness we were back home safe and sound.

Thank you to Ms Gleson and Helen for checking my work.
