Solar Eclipse of the Sun.

Yesterday there was great excitment as we went outside to view a solar eclipse of the sun.
We learned that the word eclipse means move in front of, and the moon was moving across the sky, in front the sun. 

Stan Swan made a viewer  for us with a camera and a  tripod a dentist's mirror partly covered in tin foil. He projected the image of the eclipse on a classroom wall.

We were all able to watch the eclipse with special solar glasses.We know that looking at the sun without solar glasses can damage your eyes!!!!!

Back in the classroom Mr Swan helped us model the eclipse with an apple,an orange and a lemon as the moon,the sun and the earth.

Rooms 1,2,3 and 16 walked down to the new playground at Bishop Park to try out the new equipment.
Back at school we wrote fantastic long stories about our adventure! Lots of us are beginning to use WOW words (descriptive adjectives) in our writing, which makes them interesting to read. Check out our writing books next time you are in Room1!
