In 2005, the 3rd of October, an annular solar eclipse was seen in part of Spain, including the city of Valencia and its surroundings. Last time something similar happened in Valencia was just a century ago. These unusual astronomical events are an excellent opportunity for students to learn astronomy, as they live it and feel part of it. In our school, "Colegio EPLA" at Godella, it was an incomparable opportunity as the annular eclipse happened during playtime. Therefore, for two weeks the school prepared several activities using the eclipse as a central theme (what is called in the Spanish educational model a "transverse subject"), explaining to the students about the eclipse (adapted to their levels), and preparing the pupils for secure eclipse observation: i.e., the children fabricated during class time their own eclipse glasses with black polymer; and for the little ones, the window of a classroom was covered with black polymer for secure observation of the phenomena.
