Dear Parents,
As I am sure you are aware, there is a partial solar eclipse taking
place tomorrow morning, 9.31 a.m., Friday 20th March.
The moon will be passing in front of the sun. This is not a
complete eclipse but very close. As the eclipse progresses it
should become cold and dark like a normal twilight and birds
should stop singing. As it is dangerous to look directly at the sun
at any time, we have decided that we will not be going outside
to view the eclipse but will show it on the screens in the
classroom and of course discuss the light changes that can be
observed through the windows.
