• Heat High Five!

  Tue 19 Jul 2022

  A huge well done to everyone for surviving the heat of the last couple of days! The children and staff have been brilliant. We've had cooling foot spas, ice lolly breaks, water mist sprays and keeping cool activities.

   

  The children have behaved impeccably well, not complaining about staying inside out of the sun and when they have been outside for some fresh air they have sat quietly under the canopies listening to a story or chilling.

   

  Well done everyone!

• It's a heatwave

  Thu 14 Jul 2022

  Here is a message from Sandwell Council regarding the predicted heatwave over the next week:

  Message to parents

   

  With temperatures likely to reach the highest ever recorded in Britain, please look after those most vulnerable in your lives. Children, the elderly and those with long term health conditions may need help keeping cool and hydrated in hot weather.

   

  Help them avoid heat related illness by:

   

  • checking they stay hydrated with plenty of fluids
  • helping to provide a cool living space
  • encouraging them to avoid strenuous or extreme activities
  • keeping them out of the sun at peak times
  • providing a sunhat, sunglasses and applying plenty of sun-cream when outside

   

  If you or someone else feels unwell with a high temperature during hot weather, it may be heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Find out about the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and when to get help

   

  Stay #WeatherAware #BeatTheHeat
