Year 3 have enjoyed learning about the Romans this year. Here they are dressed as Legionaries with shields designed by them. We learnt about what made them such good soldiers and used our shields to create the famous tortoise fighting formation. We think they would make excellent soldiers, don’t you?

🌞It's another hot day in Hyndburn.
Here's some more safety advice from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (Official) 👇

With very hot weather across Lancashire this week, please take extra care and look out for others.

• Avoid direct sun between 11am and 3pm when temperatures are highest

• Use sunscreen, wear a hat, and drink plenty of water throughout the day

• Keep your home cooler by closing blinds or curtains in sunny rooms, and opening windows when it’s cooler outside

• Check in on friends, family and neighbours who may be more affected by the heat

• If you’re venturing out, pack a picnic and avoid disposable BBQs, which can easily start grass fires in hot, dry conditions

• Never leave anyone (or pets) in a parked vehicle, even for a short time

• If you’re cooling off, use supervised swimming pools, like our search dog Fozzie. Open water may look inviting but can be dangerous, even in hot weather

Heat can affect people quickly.
If someone shows signs of heatstroke and does not recover after cooling down, call 999 immediately.

Please share this with friends, family or neighbours, it could help someone who needs it during the heatwave 💛

A red heat-health alert is in place across southern England and the Midlands. This means extreme heat could affect everyone, including healthy people, and may also impact transport, food, water and energy. This is only the second time a red alert has been issued, the last being in July 2022.
🥤 Keep hydrated
☀️ Avoid the sun during the hottest parts of the day
🪟 Keep your home cool
🫂 Look out for others
