Esther and William are staying home tomorrow morning
We are going to watch tonight’s CBeebies Stargazing episode about the eclipse
We are going to play outside in the morning twilight
We will act out the moon blocking the sun
We will talk about it watching the eclipse live on TV
We will try to make a pin hole viewer
Then when they have had this once in their childhood experience
They will go to school and hopefully talk about it for Show and Tell
When they come home we will be making playdough suns
And paper plate moons
And eating a space themed tea
We will not look directly at the sun
But we will experience the eclipse with all our senses
Will you?

Love the quote, I was struggling with keeping my son off school in the morning and learning from experience whilst the solar eclipse happens and actually getting into trouble with school.I am going to keep him at home as he says it is the perfect Geography and science lesson.
We did not see much but we felt the cold and we talked about it in so much more depth than they would have done at school. Some things are more important than your school attendance record I think x
