Summer is here and the end of the school year is getting closer, which means one thing for many of you - it's time for sports day!
School sports day is when pupils, and sometimes even teachers and parents, take part in athletic events and games.
These events can include traditional sports like running, hurdles, and long jump, or more unusual competitions such as sack races and the three-legged race.

Are you having a sports day at your school? What will you be doing? And what is your favorite sports day event?
Let us know in the comments below. With parts of the UK facing warm temperatures, maybe your school has made some changes to their sports day plans.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) recommends children should not take part in vigorous physical activity on very hot days.

Here are some ways to stay cool in hot weather:
Stay hydrated - when it gets hot, your body will sweat more, which means you will become dehydrated faster than normal.
Make sure you drink lots of water and eat snacks like fruit to keep your energy up.

Wear sunscreen - sunscreen helps protect your skin from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause burns or make you feel unwell.
Look out for ones with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) number like SPF 30 or 50 for more protection.
Make sure you re-apply your sunscreen regularly throughout the day.

Cover up - wear light-colored clothing, if possible, that covers as much of your skin as possible.
Loose-fitting or long-sleeved clothes can help keep you cool and protect you.
Lighter colors like white can reflect sunlight, while darker colors like black can absorb heat and make you feel warmer.
Find shade between 12-3pm to avoid the sun's most intense rays.
