NORTH-EAST primary school pupils are being urged to get creative as part of a new awareness programme from NIVEA SUN and Cancer Research UK to help children enjoy the sun safely.
Together, they have launched a nationwide competition giving primary school children the chance to win prizes for their school, classmates and themselves.
To enter the competition, youngsters are being asked to write a poem, song or even a rap about enjoying the sun safely, which starts with the line: 'The Sun has got his hat on'.
There will be four winners, two in the five to seven age group and two in the eight to 11 age group. Each winner will receive Toys R Us vouchers for themselves, a weather station for their schools, as well as a fun 'worldwide weather workshop' and prize giving ceremony for their class, delivered by NIVEA SUN and Cancer Research UK.
The competition entry form can be downloaded at www.thesunwiseset.co.uk. Entries must be submitted by Friday, June 14.
