This start of the week is marked by an episode of hot weather in Belgium, and in a good part of Europe. However, children are still at school until Friday, how do schools manage these heat waves with the students?
Catherine Moulin, director of the Saint-Joseph school in Uccle explains how her establishment is preparing for these temperatures. “” So we obviously try to take advantage of our spaces, we are lucky to have green spaces so we put the children in the shade. We obviously watch during the big midday break that there is not too long there. And then this morning we took advantage of the proximity to the forest to go doing activities as part of the outside school. And I know that the little ones have already taken out the basins to go and have the little water game and it will be reiterated this afternoon ».
Each school has its mode of operation
« Because obviously it is really very hot so you have to find temporality has a little more work since children are at school until Friday. And obviously the children have their gourd, we asked the parents to bring the caps today and probably for the rest of the week “Explains the director of the Saint-Joseph school in Uccle.

Establishments that fall under the organizing power of Wallonia Brussels Education authorize parents to recover their children tomorrow noon in order to prevent heat.
