Sun Scientists

Primary 5 were learning all about the importance of staying safe in the sun today. They were visited by Charlotte from Cancer Focus who showed them the impact the UV rays can have on their skin. They learned how important it is to protect their delicate skin and used a UV watch to see how strong the sun was in different areas of the school. They also learned a tongue twister to help them remember the different ways they can protect themselves:

SLIP, SLAP, SLOP, SLIDE, SHADE

SLIP on a t-shirt

SLAP on a hat

SLOP on some sunscreen

SLIDE on sunglasses

Seek the SHADE
