Hello everybody!
What a lovely week it has been, we have been continuing in our search for Spring which has had some easy to spot signs. Some of the flowers around the play area have started blooming and some trees now have blossom. The grass had its first cut which smelt lovely drifting in through the open windows. We have our very own frogspawn brought in a tank to watch it grow into tadpoles, vegetable seeds were planted and have already thrown up some shoots and of course there has been SUNSHINE!! Lovely, lovely sunshine!
As with everything now a days there is a health and safety issue regarding the sun.. *dons health and safety helmet & flouresent coat to make long and boring but needed health and safety announcement*
Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls as we know the sun is hot. Very hot (yes, even in Blackpool). Unfortunately prolonged bursts of fun and frolics in said sun can lead to burning of uncovered skin. Should you wish to avoid such burning could you please ensure that all children who wish to play outside on sunny days have either suitable clothing to cover skin or have sun cream. Either of these options have the potential to cause distress to children, parents and staff alike should the following requests be ignored...
...As with uniform all clothing/accessories worn (sun hats etc) should be CLEARLY NAMED to avoid confusion and upset. (Not just the children but me too. I have walked those corridors many times in search of rogue jumpers/hats & I may be found crying in the corner if anyone else loses any clothes and PLEASE don't make me go in the lost property tub again, if I fall in I may never return)
...sun cream if applied before school is absolutely fine BUT if a child would like to apply further sun cream whilst in school then the sun cream they apply should be their own, not shared and should also be CLEARLY NAMED. It would also be super helpful if it can be applied properly by the small person putting it on, it is not uncommon to spot tiny, pure white, shiny beings wandering the playground leaving a trail of sun cream devastation wherever they go.
...hot days often require us cooling down by drinking more. We do have lots of water fountains around school but if you would like your child to bring in a bottle of water that is fine but can you please make sure it is....... Yes you guessed it... CLEARLY NAMED.
...regardless of the sun blinding you through the window or the cheeky smiley weather man promising it won't rain can you PLEASE send your children with a CLEARLY NAMED coat, the weather is as changeable as... well... British weather and though it may look like a peachy day chances are by home time it'll be cloudy/ raining/ snowing.
I think that's it, other than to say if you are having a jolly fun time writing names on anything and everything that may come within a 2 mile radius of school could you PLEASE check that all uniform is also CLEARLY NAMED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I'm off to sit in the sunshine before I blink and it's gone.
until next time
Miss Latham and Mrs Lewis
