The time: 9.30 am
The place: Wicor Primary
The event: Solar eclipse
We waited for the cloudy sky to clear, for just a tiny glimpse of the Sun. Nothing but clouds.
The time came and the sky darkened. The birds stopped singing...even our hens went quiet - they seemed strangely subdued. It was Class 5M's turn to look after the hens and check on their eggs.
Meanwhile back in Year 3, Mr Wildman was explaining the strange things that sometimes happen during a solar eclipse...you know, like birds laying strange coloured eggs.
Lunchtime: Class 5M look in on hens and see if there are any eggs...
 |
| Look what they found... |
There were 9 eggs (but they usually lay 8) and one of them was...GOLD! The eclipse had worked its magic. The hens had laid a golden egg.
 |
| No, it's definitely a golden egg |
Let's seek the wisdom of Mr Wildman.
But he's usually asleep in Darwin's chair at this time.
No we must wake him.
Yes, it's a golden egg - the eclipse has affected one of the hens |
"I was only talking to Year 3 about this strange phenomenon. Go and show them, they'll be amazed."

| Look, Year 3...a golden egg |
