Our weather is very changeable at the moment hot to cold.  However, the UV rating is remaining at 4 or above. This means sun protection is required from approx. 9.30 until 2.30.  This period will grow as summer approaches.  Hats need to be worn during this time.

It is not the heat of the sun that causes concern but the UV rating. Please talk to you child about this as some children are of the belief they don’t need a hat because it is cloudy at times.  This is from the Cancer council website.

“Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the invisible killer that you can't see or feel. UV radiation can be high even on cool and overcast days. This means you can't rely on clear skies or high temperatures to determine when you need to protect yourself from the sun.”

This is timely advice for our upcoming term break.  Enjoy the outdoors safely.
