This SunSmart resource is designed to supportthe education component of your SunSmart Policy.

A SunSmart Policy is vital for all Queensland early

childhood settings. It is a very simple process

and is outlined in the Queensland Cancer Funds

free publication Working Towards a SunSmart

Queensland A Policy Guide for Organisations.

A good SunSmart Policy will incorporate the

following factors:

Environmental factors (for example is

there enough shade in our playground?);

Organisational factors (for example, are the

children inside in the middle of the day,

or playing under shade?);

Educational factors (for example, do we

provide the children and their families with

education on SunSmart issues?).

All of this information is available from

the Queensland Cancer Funds Cancer

Helpline, 13 11 20.

What does the sun do?The sun does helpful things like give us light, keep us warm,

and make the plants grow...

...but the sun does badthings too...uh oh!

Teaching Points

Involve the children in the activities on

each page.

Take the opportunity for the children to tell

their holiday stories.

Relate Sids SunSmart rules to the

rules at your school or centre.

This book would be best used as a part of

a whole teaching unit about the sun.

Parents will love to know about keeping

their family SunSmart too.

Make sure you all sing the song.
