Welcome

Welcome to my blog! My name is Oty and I am from a very, very distant planet.

I came to earth a couple of days ago and it's time to go home.
The problem is that I don't remember the name of my planet and therefore I don't know where it is and how to return there.
I have been searching non-stop for my luggage and I have found a note from my mother that I believe can help me find my way home. Can you help me?

NOTE

activity 1

If you want to help Oty find his planet, first you will have to learn things about the different planets of the solar system. I think this video will help you learn how to differentiate the different planets:

Now that you know the characteristics of the different planets in the solar system, can you solve this activity to help Oty remember his planet?

activity 2

After watching yesterday's video about the characteristics of the different planets of the Solar System, Oty is beginning to remember, but we still have to help him because he has learned so many new words during these days in the earth, that he is not able to remember the names of the planets. 

Can you help him find the names of planets hiding between these letters?

activity 3

After refreshing his memory about the names of the different planets and their characteristics, Oty is remembering many things about his planet but there are still some holes that must fill in his memory. Can you help him? 

Oty remembers that his mother sang a song to him when he was little. Listen to it and fill in the gaps in the lyrics of the song that Oty does not remember:
