How Far Is The Sun?

I was reading this book when I got to a part it said that Mercury is the closest to the Sun and Neptune is farthest from the sun so it would be very cold over there.

---

All of the planets are not close or stuck to each other, but they are departed from each other and did you know that Venus is the closest to Earth and Mars.

---

If you were exploring Mercury then you would be burnt already. And what if a ordinary car took a trip to the Sun it would take 152 years to get there. And if an aeroplane flew all the way to the Sun it would take 18 years. Now for the last trip, if a spaceship blasted the hole way to the Sun it would take 156 days to get there.

Auckland Zoo

Auckland Zoo

The Zoo is a fascinating place to go to because you learn how the animals act in the wild. And you could learn other kinds of animals that you have never learnt before. So rooms 6 to 12 got to go on a trip to the Zoo. And I was feeling very excited to be at the Zoo.

Rooms 6 to 12 was very eager to go on a trip to the zoo to see amazing wild animals, but first what we did was we backed up the chairs and waited until the first bell went then we would walk out of our class and wait until our teacher Mr. Ramkolowen tells us when to walk outside of the school. We all waited then we walked towards the gate to the bus. We stood in line until we would get to go onto the bus. And I was very excited to see the wild animals at the zoo. We got onto the bus then we drove down Line Rd towards the city side. We drove a long distance to the zoo and there was a lot of stopping. We were almost there, but we still needed to go past some more of the buildings. Like one of them was Motat then I could see the zoo poster on the post and I knew that we were almost there. We were driving into the driveway of the zoo to park at the car park. We got out of the bus then we stood in line until this man that worded at the Auckland Zoo came to us and asked us some questions about people not bringing there rain coat or a warm jumper and he asked us about the weather if it was rainy or cloudy and we said a little bit rainy. Then we waited a little while then we got to go into the zoo we walked up to the zoo gate and the man that worked there went to open the gate for us to go through it. He opened it then we took big steps and when we where taking big steps the man said how old it the Auckland zoo and we said” I don’t know”, but then he said” it is  100 years old. Then we moved on. We were walking down the hill when we came up to the big place where they told us some rules. The first rules was the not talk loudly because then they will get scared and they will not come out. The second rules was not to run then he pronounced himself. His name was Fraser and the other person next to him was his brother and his name was John. He said that room 12 would be going with him/Fraser and room 11 was going with John then he asked for room 10 to put there hands up and then when they did he said that they would be going with a lady and her name was Kristy then the last class was going to be room 6 Fraser said to them that when he is finished with his first group he would come and get them to follow him where he went first the his first group. While Fraser and his brother was looking at the time he said that we all should have morning tea now so we all did, but then Kirsty said that we can start looking at the zoo animals because we were going through and different way which was the Te Wao Nui / New Zealand. The first thing that we went through was the Tuatara. We went into the old house then we saw other tuatara just standing there like a statue, but do you know why they do that. Well they do that because when a little bug comes along it will just wait until it comes closer and closer to the tuatara then when it is very close the tuatara will eat it then it will wait for another bug. Next we all walked to a different place which was the Kea’s place, but there place where they lived was very different than the tuatara. There cage was much more bigger and there habitat looked then the mountain hills with a waterfall. Kirsty said that they are very naughty birds why well it's because they fly over your head and we will scream and they think that it is very funny, but then when I walked in this bird fle over my head then I got very scared but I saw that they were laughing because they were looking at me. Then we went to another cage which was the blue birds cage. We went in but we didn’t see any of the blue bird so we went out of the cage then when we were on the bridge we saw the blue bird coming out of its habitat and going into the pund to swim then it flew out then it went back into its home. Kirsty said that she had to move on so our teacher told us that we can go anywhere, but we would need to stay with him so the next thing that we went to was the hippo and the seval. We were walking towards the sign where it was written on and it said”Hippo’s river”. We walked inside and first what we saw was the Serval, but they were sleeping in it’s home. Then next door to it was the hippo’s, but sadly there was no hippo why well because there last hippo has died, but I was very excited to see the hippo’s, but then there was nothing because it said on the sign. So then we thought of have morning tea around the hippo’s habitat. I finished having morning tea then our teacher Mr. Ramkolowen asked us if he could take only ten people so I went with him and nine more people came. We went around the zoo looking at the animals then the rest of the students came then we moved on the other animals. The next animal that we went to was the indian elephant we could see that it was a indian elephant because the ears weren't that big. Then it walked towards us then we saw the whole body then when it walked we couldn’t hear a bit of its stomping. Then we went to see the other animals and it was fun because there was tunnel’s and other cool things. Then it was time to go back onto the bus and drive a long time back to our school.

Its was very fun at the zoo experimenting the other animals that was in the wild so I would just like to say to the zoo keepers and the whole zoo. Thank you for letting us come to the zoo and spend our whole day there looking at the different animals. So Thank You so much Auckland Zoo.
