Children will learn about the solar system and the planets as they move about the sun with the 'GeoSafari Motorised Solar System'. A telescope will allow children to see distant stars and planets in detail. This supports STEAM learning by bringing the solar system in 3D form and with books that are colourful and detailed to help identify planets with the telescope.
