Our Star, The Sun - Thursday 1 August

Today we learnt that:

• Stars emit (give out) light, which is why we can see them
• The Sun is a star
• The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is closer to us
• Other stars look small because they are very, very, very far away
• Stars form patterns and pictures called constellations
