New Zealand School Participates in Sunbeams and Shadows Project

Ngatapa School, Gisborne was the first New Zealand school to participate in the IYA Sunbeams and Shadows project, following the movement of the Sun between midwinter and midsummer at different latitudes from North to south. Schools have been invited to submit a photograph when the Sun is at an angle of 45 degrees. More details and other activities can be found at www.sun45.org including how to construct a sunbeam box and a circular Sun 45 sundial.
