Today was the first time any of the pupils in our class had seen a solar eclipse.
When it got darker it got colder at the same time as well as a bit windy. When we were walking round to the playground we saw a little bit coming through the clouds but it wasn’t there for long and was quite dull. We used pinhole projectors to look at the eclipse but they didn’t work so well because there were thick clouds.
One of our pupils had special eclipse glasses and we had a shot of those too but because it was cloudy we couldn’t see much through them.
When we came back into class we watched some of the eclipse live on the internet.
Aimee – I liked on the webcam how the sun seemed to change colour at different points depending whether there were clouds or not.
Hannah – I liked going outside to see the eclipse.
Codi – I liked how it looked liked the sun had a big chunk out of it.
Jordan – I liked when we went outside and we just caught a glimpse of it coming through the clouds.
Cole – I liked how it felt like night time and the sky changed when we were outside.
Kali – I enjoyed seeing it getting dark outside.
Keavie – I enjoyed when it got darker and colder outside.
Taylor – I enjoyed how it wasn’t windy when we first went outside but then it started to get windy as the eclipse was happening.
We watched the eclipse on the web cam so we didn’t know that it got windy outside, thank you for sharing with us.
You looked like you were enjoying being outside P4/5. In P1 we noticed it had got darker and that there was less bird noise.
