The children this morning were very excited to go and see the solar eclipse. As soon as they were registered they went outside and eagerly looked to the sky. The weather forecast was cloudy but fortunately there were breaks in the cloud which allowed a good view of the solar eclipse. Pupils also noticed how it was getting darker and colder. The eclipse was only partial, about 90 percent, so there was no corona to be seen and it for some pupils it didn't go quite as dark as they imagined but they all agreed they would like to see another one.
The next eclipse is 2026 and this again will be partial, the next full eclipse in the UK will be 2090. As a momento the children can keep the solar eclipse glasses but please note if they do become damaged they will be no longer suitable for looking at the Sun.
