Solar eclipse

Today we were lucky enough to witness the solar eclipse at school. As it was so sunny it was perfect to see the shadow of the moon gradually blocking the sun. 
We used special glasses called "Eclipse shades" to look at the sun - it's far too bright to look at directly - and saw a bright orange crescent shaped sun, instead of the usual round shape. 
We were amazed how much cooler it went as the sun was blocked out, and the shadows on the ground were a lot clearer too. Thanks Dan for bringing in some glasses - it was amazing!
