“All year groups undertook a PSHE lesson on staying safe in the sun and completed some of the worksheets.



In addition, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 all took part in a lesson reading and discussing the George the Sun Safe Superstar story. They then dressed up in the right and wrong clothes.



Year 3 and 4 enjoyed making origami sunhats and deciding which provided the best protection.



Year 5 did an audit of the shade around the school and Year 6 were involved in storytelling about enjoying summer days safely.



We prepared a Sun Safe Fun Book with games puzzles and activities to do at school and at home.



Staff noted how the children remembered to put on sun cream before going out to play and the playground is a sea of sun hats during break.
