SEN information
Suitable for children with Specific and Moderate Learning Difficulties. The visual representation and animation of the way in which the solar system moves is extremely beneficial for children as this is a very hard concept to grasp. Text is read for children, which should ensure the activity can be undertaken by children who are not confident readers or who have difficulties with reading, thereby giving all children the opportunity to succeed at the activity and also gain a sense of independence.
