Today we learned lots of facts about the sun. We already knew that the sun is a star, and today we learned that stars are big burning balls of gas! We learned that the sun is the biggest thing in our solar system and looks so big because it is much closer to Earth than other stars. We learned that you could fit Earth inside the sun one million times!

We also learned a bit more about the other planets in our solar system. We looked at the order of the planets, their names, size and colour. We enjoyed listening to some solar system songs on YouTube! We then painted the planets for our walk display.

We are looking forward to showing and telling you everything we have learned tomorrow morning at the open morning!
