CHILDREN are sporting new caps in a bid to protect themselves from the sun during playtimes at school.
The youngsters from Witton- le-Wear Primary School have been given the caps with their school logo by the parents and teachers association.
They have also been given sun cream from Boots and have taken part in a competition to design a poster outlining how to keep themselves safe from the sun.
Headteacher Mark Stephenson said that the gifts are a fitting end to the children's health education classes about the sun.
