Eclipse of the sun

Today there will be a partial eclipse of the sun. The moon will go between the sun and planet Earth. This will black out the suns rays. It is getting darker in our classroom and Judi has turned off the lights. We can't look at the sun but we can look through a pinhole in the cardboard. Nile Room showed us the sun and the shadow on cardboard. Marlin

scarecrows

St Vincent Room is making scarecrows for the Fair, Country comes to Town. What a major job!!! Lots of our parents have been popping in to help us dress, sew and decorate our scarecrows. Neil cut us a big pile of bamboo poles and Celia and Judi have been wiring them together. Tania brought us a bale of hay from her horse's hayshed to stuff the scarecrows. Celia and Georgina went op shopping and found hats, scarves, gloves and clothing. Sandie dropped off a big pile of clothes. Greta has helped us sew on the hair(we found a big bag of woolly sheepskin) Today we hot glued on the eyes and mouths. Our scarecrows will frighten off any crows that happen to fly around the school on Saturday. They will be auctioned at 2.30 on Saturday 10th November.
