Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again,

This is the sun story which I was going to tell you on Friday. Did you know that the sun is actually a star? It’s also the nearest star to Earth, that’s why it looks so big! It is really a ball of fire! It takes eight minutes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth. The Sun is so large, Earth could fit inside it a million times. Without the Sun, the Earth would have no heat and no light. The plants would not grow, so animals would have nothing to eat, so we would have nothing to eat. Without the Sun, the Earth would be a very cold place. Now listen to the song.

Why would people sing this song? Have you ever been playing outside when the sun has suddenly gone in? Everyone looks at the sky and pulls their coats around them. Have you ever been outside when the Sun has suddenly appeared? We all suddenly feel much better.
Now you know, Mrs Cunningham’s assemblies always have a meaning, and this is not all about the sun!

It is about you. People can also bring light and warmth to those around us. By showing people that we care, by treating them with respect, by listening to them and encouraging them, we can make people feel very happy.
Sometimes people can feel sad, as if a dark cloud is blocking out the sunshine in their lives. YOU can help move that cloud and bring light and happiness to them. Just a smile, a cuddle, a Thank You or a ‘I Love you’ is that sunshine you can bring. Give it a go today.

Have a mad Monday

Mrs Cunningham
