Hi, my name is Lisa and I am running the Children's Page for the Birstwith Community Website. This section of the Website is just for you. You will find Pictures to colour in, puzzles to solve and prizes to be won! Come and see me again soon for more activities as I will be very busy finding all sorts of fun things for you to do and read!

If you would like to suggest something for this page or have any comments, please email me at lisa@birstwith.com and I will be more than happy to help out.

Click and Colour In

Have some fun by clicking any of the 4 pictures below and asking an adult like Mum or Dad to print it for you. You can then colour the picture in!

Amazing Facts - The Sun and Moon

The sun burns up 240 million tonnes of fuel every minute. One day it will use up all this fuel and go cold, but scientists don't think this will happen for another five billion years!

The temperature at the centre of the Sun is 15 million degrees Celsius. The surface temperature is much cooler - 5,500 degree Celcius. This is still five times hotter than lava flowing out of a volcano!

The Sun is about 150 million kilometres from the Earth. A jumbo jet would take 17 years to fly there!

We only ever see one side of the Moon because it spins round on its axis in the same amount of time that it takes to orbit the Earth.
