The Solar Eclipse

This morning we went out to view the solar eclipse in the playground.  P4/5, P5, P6, P6/7 and P7 also came out to watch.

 

We made pinhole projectors so we could look at the eclipse safely and we turned our backs to the sun.

 

We couldn’t see the eclipse properly because the clouds were covering the sun.

 

It went quite dark and very cold and windy.

 

The last total eclipse happened in 1999 (about 16 years ago) and we hope it won’t be so long until the next one.

 

When we came in we watched it Live on BBC news.  We drew our own drawings and wrote down some facts about the solar eclipse.
