Mrs Green will be taking classes out to look at the solar eclipse on Friday 20th March.
As the most significant partial eclipse of the sun in Scotland since August 1999, this is an astronomical phenomenon. West Lothian is predicted to witness a 93% eclipse, starting from around 8.30am and lasting until around 10.45am, with the maximum eclipse at approximately 9.35am.

Looking directly at the sun is dangerous and can result in serious eye damage or blindness. To protect our eyes, the children will be supervised and asked not to stare at the sun, even during a partial eclipse.

We will be following the Dos and Don’ts of the British Astronomical Association’s Solar Eclipse Safety Code at www.britastro.org/eclipsesafety, such as making ourselves a pinhole projector with two pieces of card to view the projected image of the sun rather than looking directly at it.
