SANDIWAY PRIMARY SCHOOL
NEWSLETTER
NUMBER 24 / SUMMER TERM 2015 / WEDNESDAY 22ND APRIL 2015
WELCOME BACK
I hope you have had a lovely Easter Break with
your families. The teachers are looking forward to
the last term of the year with lots of lovely activities
planned. They will shortly be putting information
about the curriculum for the term on their class
pages.
I would like to share with you the precautions that

we will take during the summer weather and I ask
that you can support us.
WEB SITE
You may notice that we have password protected
some of the pages on the school website. During
the next week, some of the information about the
classes will be available to the general public
(School Tour) and some areas will have restricted
access. We are trying to achieve a balance of
sharing lots of images about what the children do
in school with maintaining their privacy and
protecting their identity. It is important that we are
able to share some information to everyone as our
website is often the first point of contact for new
parents and visitors.
It is a sad fact that we need to take these

precautions, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
You will shortly receive a text with a password to
access areas where you can celebrate the work
that takes place and read the class blogs. I ask
that this password is restricted to family members
only. We will change this on a regular basis and
keep you updated as necessary.

CLUBS
Clubs start next week. Please sign up on the
school website by logging in as your child and
viewing the Wiki. Please contact the school office
if you need any help with this.
SUN SAFE
We have all enjoyed the lovely sunny weather
during the holiday and I hope there is more to
come in the following weeks. We are increasingly
aware of the health issues with too much exposure
to the sun in the form of premature damage and
skin cancers, but we need to maintain a commonsense approach to enjoy the health benefits that
being in the sun can give us, both physically and
emotionally.
Please apply sun cream (SPF 15 or more is

recommended) before children come to
school.
You may send sun cream into school
(named) that the children can apply
themselves during the day.
We will provide
the children with
regular sun
breaks if they are
outside (during
PE lessons, for
example)
We will talk to the
children about the
health risks and
benefits of sun exposure
Children may wear sun hats/caps and sun
glasses for when they are outside.
We are able to sell baseball caps/legionnaire
caps that have the school logo on - these will
be available from the school office for just
4. These are machine washable and look
great!
If your child is fair skinned, has fair or ginger
hair, they are at greater risk of sun burn.
Please speak to class teachers if you have
any concerns over exposure to the sun.
Please make sure that all children have a
clean water bottle (named) in school
everyday and that you encourage them to
drink from it. We will make sure that these
bottles are freely available to the children
and that they can top them up during the
school day.

The Sun Safety Policy will shortly be available on
the school website.
