We learnt all about the solar eclipse\u00a0this morning.\u00a0 We learnt that in a solar eclipse<\/a>, the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun. When this happens, part of the Sun’s light is blocked. The sky slowly gets dark as the moon moves in front of the Sun. When the moon and Sun are in a perfect line, it is called a total eclipse. These are very rare. We weren’t even born when the last one happened in 1999.<\/p>\n

We could see from inside our classroom that the sky was becoming darker, then at 9.35am Mrs Macdonald quickly ran out of the fire door in our class to take some pictures. It\u00a0wasn’t\u00a0safe for us to go outside without special sunglasses on.Mrs Macdonald \u00a0was very careful and made sure that she didn’t look directly at the Sun as this is very dangerous.\u00a0 We learnt today\u00a0that you should never look directly at the Sun as this can damage your eyes.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the pictures taken this morning. As you can see, the sky over Broxburn turned very very dark.<\/p>\n
