In the UK there is a massive heat wave which is making schools cancel sports days because of the temperature. Teachers are taking precautions to ensure their students’ safety.

When kids are outside running around, they are already super hot. Outside when there is a heat wave around and kids are playing sports, it doesn’t help at all. According to Newsround, “At school we’ve had movie time in the shade during breaks, had ice lollies, the teachers have misted us with water and we’ve kept hydrated,” oldoakmaple told Newsround.” This will benefit the kids a lot for them to cool down and be energized for the next activity.

As it is burning hot outside the teachers’ jobs are to make sure everyone is safe in the weather. Protecting the children will of course be teachers first priority. According to Newsround, “Government advice for schools includes children being in the shade as much as possible, wearing sunscreen and plenty of water to be provided.” Doing these things will have the kids in the least possible danger being outside.

As heat and sports don’t go well together, teachers make sure to keep all the kids safe.
