Now the summer has started, it is important that the children can enjoy the sun safely over the coming months. The sun’s rays are particularly strong over the summer and they can damage children’s skin.

 

There are number of things we encourage parents and carers to do for their children:

 

• Children should bring in a water bottle with their name on it
• Children should have a hat to go out at lunch and playtime with their name on it
• Children need to be wearing sunscreen. This should be applied in the morning before coming to school and if you want your child to have a supply in school please name the bottle.

 

Children should not share sunscreen due to possible allergies.
