The sun

At school we are learning about the sun. Our class had a trip to the Waikato museum and we went in the sun exhibition.We got to do lots of fun activities, such as using  ultra violet torches to find hidden messages around the museum, and got to hop in a big inflatable sun, and saw what the core looked like. We got to go on a machine and test how fast it would take for us to get to the sun. I had a great time.
