Max’s dad came to visit our class. He turned his computer on and plugged it into the big TV.

First we saw this swirly thing, then we saw the sun! Oh, it was bright. We saw a close up of a sunspot. We saw a solar flare. It looked like a magnet.

He showed us how big the sun was. Kayan gave Jon a marble and Jon found a speck of dust. He put them about one metre away from each other. Then he showed us the sun as it was that day. It was a pale colour with little sunspots.

Jon showed us his big telescope . I thought it would be all black but it was all white. I saw one sunspot. I felt really impressed with the telescope. Finally, the bell rang but we kept looking through the telescope.
