People who have never worked with children don't always understand how genuinely inquisitive they can be, and how they can marvel at something like an eclipse. Most of them will remember yesterday for the rest of their lives ... and that is what true learning is all about.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-49410330942809058912015-03-21T09:27:07.539+00:002015-03-21T09:27:07.539+00:00Glorious in Cowdenbeath.Fife.

What an amazing world we live in.<br />Reminds me of the last one 17/18 years ago- it was when we moved into our new house and I recall vividly the twilight and showing it to my under 5 daughters thru a pinhole projected onto white card.

The mist meant it was possible to look directly at it and see the sun about 8 tenths obscured. There was an odd half light for about 5 minutes.
