Wonderwall challenge 19.1

Mnemonics can help us remember certain facts. For example:

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain

...helps people remember the colours of the rainbow:

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.

Can you create a mnemonic to help young children remember the order of the planets?

    Thank you Mrs Skinner! No, it's not cheating :)

    Now year 6 have seen a wonderful example, maybe we can make up some original ones.
