In yesterday's assembly, Mrs Dale told us all about how to keep safe in the sun. She told us a story about a boy called George who was a sun-safe superstar because he followed the five simple rules.
These are:
Slip, Slop, Slap, Sunglasses, Shade.
- We must slip on our t-shirt to protect our shoulders.
- We then slop on our sun-cream to prevent sunburn from the harmful UV rays.
- We also slap on a hat to stop the bright, shining sun hurting our heads and neck.
- We must wear sunglasses because if you look at the sun you can really hurt your eyes.
- Shade is important to keep us cool in the midday sun.
You need to be sunsafe even if you are outside just for a little while because your skin is still exposed to the sun. We should all drink plenty of water so you stay hydrated.
Here at Ridgeway, we are going to bring in sunglasses and a sun hat for playtimes as well as putting suncream on from the dispensers around school. Teachers should also be covering their shoulders as well as wearing sunglasses and a hat.
By Class 9's Sun-safe Superstars!
