The NHS advise during warm, sunny weather in the UK, children of all ages should: • cover up with long-sleeved shirts and long trousers or skirts • wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers the face, neck and ears • wear sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB rays • use sunscreen (at least SPF15) and reapply it regularly throughout the day • spend time in the shade, such as under a tree or umbrella, or in a sun tent (particularly during the middle of the day) Sun Cream: If you wish your child to use sun cream, please send it into school with your child’s name clearly written on the bottle so it can be kept by the class teacher. Children will need to be able to apply their own cream. There are sun creams available now that last all day, which you could apply in the morning before they come to school. SUN HATS are also recommended available from the school office priced £4.00.
