I’ve posted before regarding the death of DDs headmaster and the many remembrance / memorial events her school has had.
Anyway, there is to be a dedication of a block at the school to him (it’s a renaming of an old block), and it’s to be a half-day event with the school taking an early lunch at 11.30 ready for the unveiling and speeches from 12.30 until 3pm. The event takes place outside on what is supposed to be the hottest day of the year. There will be no shade and the kids are to wear full uniform, no hats and no bottles of water visible. DD will be very near the front as her surname is at the start of the alphabet.
I don’t want her to go and have to sit in the heat in a shirt, blazer and trousers for hours without being able to drink anything. She sometimes suffers from nosebleeds when it’s hot and has really bad hayfever at the moment.
Shall I just keep her at home that day?
