The Sun

Today we learned about the Sun.
We learned that the sun:
  • gives us light
  • gives us warmth
  • helps plants make food
  • helps everything grow

We also learned some Sun Safety Rules because some of the Sun's rays, called ultra-violet rays (UV rays) are very, very strong:

  • we should wear sunglasses to protect our eyes
  • even with sunglasses, we should not stare right into the sun
  • we should put sunscreen on when outside on a sunny day

Today, we also learned how to use the different parts of our body to create the Sun. We learned that we can use our body to show power. Some of us learned that pointing our fingers, stretching our arms and controlling the muscles in our face can help show power. Watch the videos below that show us trying to understand the power of the sun by using our body.
