Dear families

 

Welcome back to all Prep- Year 6 students. It's been wonderful to see you all.

 

Please look out for a message to all Primary parents via Compass on the weekend.

CLASS 6C DRAMA

Class 6 are working on turning their play Roma Amor into a film. They started in remote learning by making Roman soldier's helmets and armour out of cardboard boxes, and creating the background art for the film. Here are two examples of the artwork created for the film by Hugh and Jarvis.

TERM 4 - BE SUNSMART - HATS ARE COMPULSORY WHEN OUTDOORS AT SCHOOL

The skin on your face, ears and neck is much thinner and more sensitive to UV damage. Choose a hat that provides good shade to your face, head, neck and ears.

For the best protection during the daily sun protection times, use a broad-brimmed hat.

 

When choosing your hat:

  • look for a wide brim
    or
    legionnaire (should have a flap that covers the neck and overlaps at the sides of the front peak)
  • check the material: does it let a lot of light through or does it provide dark shade? A fabric with UPF 15 offers good protection while one that is UPF50 offers excellent protection. Even if the fabric is excellent, make sure the hat's overall design is effective too.
  • make sure it is cool and comfortable.

Baseball caps are NOT a good option for everyday sun protection because they only protect your scalp and forehead. 

In these Covid-19 times it would be safer for students to have their own sun hats rather than sharing spare hats.
