Preparing for Breaks Outdoors
With temperatures now dropping to a safer range during our lunch breaks, we are starting to send students outside during this time. While breaks are only 20 minutes, it is still long and hot enough that students need to take care of their health, particularly if they are running a lot. Keeping hydrated and limiting direct sun exposure is important, so please ensure that your children come to school with a water bottle, a hat, and even sunglasses - all of which must be labelled. Finally, while it is a relatively short time outside, applying sun-screen before school is always a good habit to encourage.
