Experiencing the eclipse.


Today we all experienced the solar eclipse via live web cam feeds in the classrooms, the use of pin hole cameras and just by being still and quiet outside to notice the changes in the atmosphere around us.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The event has produced much excitement and certainly led to many opportunities to develop children’s knowledge and understanding of our solar system. This has included a greater understanding of the difference between an eclipse and a ellipse and many other different interpretations and understandings as well!
