Reception learn about sun safety

Date: 26th Jun 2026 @ 11:28am

This week, during the hottest week of the year, our Reception children have been learning all about sun safety and how to look after themselves in the warm weather. We discussed the importance of protecting our skin by wearing sun cream, keeping our heads covered with a sun hat, and choosing appropriate clothing to help keep us cool and safe from the sun. We also learnt how important it is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

The children did a fantastic job remembering our sun safety rules and talking about ways we can stay safe when the weather is hot. Of course, we also had lots of fun finding ways to keep cool! The children enjoyed drinking plenty of water, splashing and paddling in the water trays, and there was great excitement when they were cooled down with a refreshing spray from the hose pipe.

There were lots of smiles, laughter and happy faces as everyone enjoyed the sunshine safely. We are very proud of how well the children understood the importance of looking after themselves in the hot weather while still having lots of fun outdoors. Well done, Reception! 🌞💦👒
