Here is where pupils can contribute their own pictures of alien creatures, machines and planets. If you email your creations as an attached computer file we can almost guarantee to post them onto the site. Try using such computer drawing tools such as CorelDraw, MacPaint, MS Paint or shareware programs such as Paint Shop Pro (for PC). Don't worry too much about what "file format" it is, as we can open most. If we do have trouble, we can always email you back!

Planets by Andrew Pritchar, Year 5, Mangateparu School There are nine planets in the solar system - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Some of them are hot and some of them are cold. Inner planets and outer planets. All different coloured planets. Big ones, small ones, some with rings and some without.
