☀️ As part of supporting the Chillington Health Centre PPG sun safety campaign, the children from Stokenham Primary created some fantastic posters to help spread important messages about staying safe in the sun. 🌞🕶️🎨
The children showed great creativity while sharing helpful reminders about wearing hats, using sunscreen, and staying protected in the sunshine. Well done everyone on your brilliant work!
