Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hi Due to have sports day on Thurs morning just after 9am and I am watching the weather closely due to this heatwave. At what point would you think of postponing to another day? Thurs is supposed to be cooler at around 25C but is this still too hot do you think? Thanks
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 How long would it last? Not sure really - have you seen this..... Looking_After_Children_Heat_PHE_AC_AB_Publications_MP_JRM_FINAL.PDF
AnonyMouse_1469 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I think if it's at 9 am, you will be ok........just make sure you have shade, water and hats..................... 1
Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 If it's about an hour and first thing in the morning I'd say that would be ok
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Well ours was scheduled for today, but with a predicted temperature of 30 degrees I have made the decision to postpone. If yours is very early and Thursday is supposed to be cooler as long as you have shade, hats, sunscreen applied and plenty of water you could be okay. Some disgruntled parents but hey ho.

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 We had an outdoor session very early - before the sun got too high - but we explained to children that we wouldn't be running about today - they were very good - we had some super outdoor music making and a group story under the shade canopy and just some 'gentle' slow use of slide and climbing frame.......

Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks all..now it maybe thunderstorms!!!! Typical!! Will just have to see on the day. A bit surprised at those parents who didn't put hats or suncream on the children today!??
