Can anyone help me, I need some solar eclipse glasses for my primary school class on Friday? The cheapest I can get them so far is £150 for 21 which is just ridiculous as it would have to come out of my pocket, not the schools. However I really don't want these kids to miss out on a once in a life time moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I know some places were giving them free or cheap to local schools.

Not even joking, I didn't know solar eclipses glasses existed. They're completely unnecessary.
Pretty much everyone in the world who has an interest in that kind of thing does this:

Load of balls! Just stare straight at the overcast rain clouds and whistle.
Seriously.
You still can't look at the sun through this though. Well from what I read
Of course not, you put your head through the box and look at the paper, facing away from the Sun.
Costs about £1 a box to make using the directions in the link above.
Does it work pretty well yeah with the box? Might try that then and get the kids to make them a few days before. Nice one mate!
Works OK, adds the wonder of "how the hell is that happening?" too, without burning retinas which is an added bonus.
Meant to say total solar eclipse as the next one won't be till 2090

I'm only kidding mate, but actually it's a popular misconception on the frequency of TOTAL solar eclipses too.
Depending on your position on Earth of course.
