Adding planets and Galaxies!

I was pleased to come across some polystyrene balls of various sizes for our 3D solar system in our local supermarket, today the girls had fun decorating them.


It's really nice using techniques discovered in other projects and then applying them to new projects. We used the glitter glue on baking paper for snowflakes, and now the same technique has come in handy for making different shaped galaxies.
This is a GREAT detective novel set in Ancient Rome. The children love it, it feels like we are walking through the streets of ancient Rome, entering their houses, walking past the Forum and being submerged in the culture.
