Be Prepared Just another reminder about making sure the

children stay safe in the hot weather:

Please make sure your child comes to

school in sensible footwear, with full toes

and backs. If you choose shoes with laces,

please make sure your child can tie them

independently – they run around and climb

when they’re outdoors, and can easily trip

in sandals or on dangling shoe laces;

Please send your child with a sunhat;

Please apply suncream to your child before

they come to school;

Please make sure your child has a water

bottle, so that they have access to drinking

water throughout the day.

Thanks for your support!
