In this week’s assembly we learnt about how to keep ourselves safe in the sun.

On the other hand, the sun poses risks and it is important that we keep ourselves safe. The sun gives of ultraviolet radiation. It is invisible to humans but can cause damage to our skin if we are exposed to it. When in the sun it is important to protect ourselves from radiation. Here are a few things we can do:
- Wear a hat
