Today (Friday 20th March) there was a Solar Eclipse. We know that a Solar Eclipse is when the moon travels in front of the sun and hides it. When a Solar Eclipse happens it becomes really dark and cold.
Yesterday, we made Solar Eclipse viewers using two paper plates.
We had to be very carefully when we were making the hole because we used a screwdriver to make one big enough. We made this viewer because it is not safe to look directly at the Eclipse. If you look directly at it you can possibly damage your eyes or be blinded.
We went up to the pitch to try and get a good view of the Solar Eclipse. It was quite cloudy which made it hard for us to see it. When the cloud passed we were able to see the moon covering the sun. Miss Innes got a couple of photographs. If you zoom in on the first photograph, you can see the Eclipse quite clearly.
