What we DON'T know about staying sunsafe.

It seems like a strange thing to post on our blog but this is part of our inquiry into how we can be safe in many different situations.

Room Two's learning buddies put their heads together and came up with lots of things we know that we have to do when we go out in the sun.    Things like wear our hats outside, stay in the shade, sunscreen stops you getting burnt, wear sunglasses and put sunscreen on your face, neck and arms.

The next day the learning buddies got together again and started thinking about things we DON'T know about being sunsafe.

Why does shade stop you getting sunburnt?

How does sunscreen work?

Where is the best place to find shade?

Why do they (sunglasses) protect your eyes?

How do sunhats make you not sunburnt?  (Protect you from sunburn)

Why does a sunhat protect your face?   Really interesting when you think about it.  You don't wear a hat over your face after all!

Why do some hats have a frill (or brim) all around and some just have it at the front?

Why did Bradford choose those hats?

These are great questions because we can really think about how we can go about finding some answers.  Looks like we will be busy over the next few weeks. 

And speaking of next week - We're looking forward to Show and Tell from Arleyah, KayLee, Luke, Tigue, Izan and Kelli.

Have a great weekend everybody.
