Hot Weather

You’ll be aware that the weather has warmed up considerably in recent days and this looks to continue this week! As wonderful as the sunshine is, we have some key messages and reminders to help keep the children protected.

On hotter days, we will:

• Limit the time children spend outside, and encourage them to stay in the shade and not run around too much
• Remind children to keep drinking through the day
• Ask children to remove jumpers, cardigans, PE hoodies and ties (for Y5/6)
• Pull the blinds in classrooms to block out the sun
• Keep rooms well ventilated, including using fans
• Remind children to wear hats outside 

Parents please:

• Apply sunscreen on your child before school
• Make sure they have a refillable drink
• Provide a hat
• Discourage jumpers, cardigans, PE hoodies
