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!
