As part of her campaign, Badavi has been visiting nurseries and schools to read to the children from her book The Big Sunny Adventure.<\/p>\n
She also sings and dances with the youngsters to a song which has actions showing how to apply sun cream.<\/p>\n
Badavi said children remembered stories and, once they understood the message, they began reminding their parents about sun cream and sun safety.<\/p>\n
Schools visited by Badavi have included the Maynard School in Exeter.<\/p>\n
Pupils said they understood the message after the nurse’s assembly.<\/p>\n
Seven-year-old Nati said she learnt that “if you don’t put sun cream on, you’ll get sunburnt, and that isn’t good because it really hurts.”<\/p>\n
Portia, also seven, remembered that “dogs needs some special sun cream as well and you have to put it on their nose.” <\/p>\n
“You need a lot of sun cream” added six-year-old Tilly “and you need to make sure you’ve rubbed it in properly”.<\/p>\n
Katie Greenwood, head teacher of pre-prep at the school, said Badavi’s use of storytelling and song was “a really good way to engage young children”.<\/p>\n
She added: “I’m sure that they’re going to go home and talk to all of their families about everything they’ve learnt today.”<\/p>\n
“I’m [also] sure there’ll be dogs getting sun cream on their noses.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of her campaign, Badavi has been visiting nurseries and schools to read to the children from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-680144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
