Last week we read The Bad Tempered Ladybird by Eric Carle and explored our feelings. This week we watched our caterpillars grow and make a cocoon around themselves. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and developed the children’s fine motor control with a threading activity to make a caterpillar necklace and a craft activity colouring a cotton pad caterpillar with food dye in their pipettes.

If sensible precautions are taken, children are unlikely to be seriously affected by hot conditions but teachers, assistants, school nurses and all child carers should look out for signs of heat stress, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
Symptoms of heat stress:
Children may seem out of character or show signs of discomfort and irritability (including those listed below for heat exhaustion).
These signs will worsen with physical activity.
For children and young people who use nappies, dark urine or dry nappies may indicate dehydration and the need for more fluids.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion may include:
tiredness
dizziness
headache
nausea
vomiting
excessive sweating and pale, clammy skin
To cool a child suffering from heat exhaustion:
move the child to a cool area and encourage them to drink cool water
cool the child as rapidly as possible, for example, by sponging or spraying the child with cool water and placing cold packs around the neck and armpits, or wrapping the child in a cool, wet sheet and assist cooling with a fan
If you are concerned about symptoms, or they are worsening, seek medical advice by contacting NHS 111.
Heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke and is a medical emergency.
Symptoms of heatstroke may include:
confusion or lack of co-ordination
seizures (fits)
loss of consciousness
high body temperature – a temperature of or above 40°C (104°F)
red, hot skin that can be sweaty or dry
fast heartbeat
fast shallow breathing
diarrhoea
If heatstroke is suspected, call 999 and then cool the child down whilst awaiting medical assistance.
If a child loses consciousness, or has a fit:
Place the child in the recovery position.
Call 999 immediately and follow their instructions.
