We particularly enjoyed watching the Clangers explain what an eclipse is and what will happen. The story Whatever next played a part in our preparations although we didn't fly to the moon in our box rocket. We did however find things to make our own sparkling stars and the moon.
During our preparations we spent some time talking about protecting our eyes during the eclipse. The children who took part in nursery watching the eclipse had great fun and enjoyed telling others how safe they were and what they saw.
" There's lots and lots of stars on the cupboard"
"We watched the moon squash the sun and we had special glasses that we couldn't get off till we went in"
"The moon went in front and the sun hid"
Next week we will be looking at the Easter story and preparing things for the new summer term roleplay area.
Thankyou to those parents and people from our community who have sent in card and rolls already we still need more to make our log cabin.
