Woweee! The Solar Eclipse Sure Came To Bankton!

What an exciting morning we had across the school. After learning the science behind the solar eclipse and fully understanding the risks involved P3, P3/4, P4, P5, P5/6, P6, P6/7 and P7 all gathered together with their pinhole viewer at the ready!

To begin with the clouds spoiled our view, but as if by magic, as the eclipse happened, the clouds cleared a small patch, almost especially for us in the Bankton team!

We certainly won’t forget where we were on 20th March 2015! The next eclipse isn’t for around another 19 years!

The Solar Eclipse !!

Did you spot something special going on in the sky this morning?

P2 went out with special poin hole viewers to see if they could catch a glimpse of the eclipse.

We went very lucky to see it as the clouds decided to clear for a few minutes. Then we went in a watched it on the computer.IMG_2551 IMG_2552 IMG_2553 IMG_2554

Caiden thought it was amazing!

Charles said ‘the sun looked like it went dark’

Emma S said ‘It was amazing

 

P2 have also been busy making their model lorrys for our technology project!

We worked together really well to come up with a design and were excellent when it came to building time!
