P4 have been doing a mini-project on space and as luck would have it, there was a solar eclipse scheduled for 10th June – it’s like we planned it!

We made our eclipse projection viewers and discussed the risks of looking directly at the sun and figured out how to project the image safely…we were good to go.

However, the Fauldhouse clouds rolled in and we were not able to see the eclipse for ourselves – but we did manage to catch a live showing of it on the internet.

We talked about how science can be frustrating when something we’ve planned doesn’t work out, and how important it is to try again…if only we didn’t have to wait another 2 years!
