Children in the Spotlight

Shinewaves Competition Time

Welcome back to competition time.

William Shakespeare, who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, was baptised 26 April 1564 and died 23 April 1616. Much of what he wrote is still read and performed today. He wrote 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long

narrative poems, and several other poems. So this week’s competition is based on the bard! How many words (which can be found in a dictionary) can you make from the words WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE?

Pop your entries in the competition post box, outside the hall, by Tues 26th April with your name and class on the back.

Slip, Slop, Slap!Slip on shirt, slop on the sunscreen and slap on a hat!

As the weather is getting warmer and the sunshine is here, we would like to inform you of the school's policy on sun

safety/sun cream.

- Children will be allowed to bring in sunscreen on a daily basis. It must be roll on and have an SPF of 30+ as

recommended by Cancer Research. This must be labelled with your child's name and class.- We recommend that children wear sun hats, ideally broad brimmed or legionnaire style which cover the face, ears and

neck.

- Children will be allowed to wear sunglasses during outdoor sessions but these must be plastic and meet with UV standards.

- Children will be allowed to wear loose and light protective jackets/clothing to protect uncovered parts of their body.- Children may bring in lip sunscreen with a high SPF and clearly labelled.

- Children are not allowed to share sunscreen or lip sunscreen.- As a school we cannot provide sunscreen for children who have forgotten to bring in their own in.

- Children will be expected to apply their own sunscreen. Staff will NOT apply a child's sunscreen, although younger

children may be supervised.- Children should bring sunscreen for use on school trips.

- If your child is allergic to sunscreen, parents MUST inform the school and provide alternative methods of protection.
