Melanie:
Melanie here from the Department of Oz-Speak. Sun safety and sport. Sorry! Sorry!

Connie puts sunscreen on Nicholas.

Melanie sunbathes.

Melanie:
So many great things in Australia, adorable animals, sunshine and coal mining. Let's talk about the sun. The sun's UV rays can still come through clouds so you can still get sunburnt on a cloudy day.
That's why sunscreen is very important. Listen out for the words that best describe a good sunscreen.

Nicholas:
What SPF is on the sunscreen?

Connie:
SPF 50.

Nicholas:
My turn.

Melanie:
Sun Protection Factor, SPF is the measure of how well a sunscreen protects your skin.
The higher the SPF number, the more it'll block the sun's rays!

Nicholas squirts out a LOT and rubs the sunscreen onto Connie's face.

Connie:
OK, OK, that’s enough.

Melanie:
There are two types of UV rays - UVA and UVB.
Broad-spectrum sunscreens will protect you from both.
Water-resistant means the sunscreen won’t come off after you sweat or if you're in water.

Connie and Nicolas play soccer.

Lily:
Connie wait!

Connie, you must wear your hat and sunglasses.

Connie:
Nooooooo....

Lily:
Yes! It’s important!

Connie:
So ugly!

Lily:
Look at your brother!

Connie:
Yep. Ugly.

Lily:
Do you want your skin to burn? That's ugly! No hat, no play.

Melanie:
No hat, no play is a rule often used for children. If they don't have a hat, they might not be allowed to play outside.

Connie:
Fine...

Nicholas snickers.

Connie:
Shush! Good?

Lily:
Don't forget your water.

Nicholas:
Thanks, Mama!

Grandma:
I can get used to this.
OOOHHH! GO CONNIE!

Rami:
Nice, Connie!

Rami enters with a tray of Lebanese food.

Rami:
Alright! Two versus two!
(to Lily)
I heard you were a bit of a speed freak.

Lily:
Hi. I heard you’re leasing a new shop?

Rami:
(laughs)
Maybe. Michael invited us as a thank you for Mariam helping you get your driver’s license.

Lily:
This is Michael's mother. Ma, this is Rami.

Grandma:
Hello.

Rami:
Pleased to meet you. Here.

Grandma:
(re: the tray of food)
What is that? It smells very good.

Rami:
Just a little something from our shop! Please help yourself!

Grandma tries a ladies-finger.

Grandma:
Hmmm, this is so good...

Rami:
Thanks!
Lily, would you like some?

Lily:
Not hungry.

Grandma:
You must tell me your secret!

Rami laughs and zips his mouth.

Rami:
Let’s go!

The four play.

Michael:
Rami! You call that defending?!

Rami:
Hey! Stop sledging me! You’re supposed to cheer me on! Encourage me. That's good sportsmanship.

Melanie:
If you give each other positive encouragement and cheer each other on, even in defeat, that’s good sportsmanship.
Take a listen to Rami.

Rani:
You know, like… Hey Rami, you’re doing great.

Michael:
But you’re really not.

Rami:
We’re supposed to set a good example.

Michael:
Rami, you’re doing great.

Rami:
Thank you. Anyway, I prefer football.

Michael:
This is football.

Rami:
This is soccer.

Michael:
Come on! We can do this! Are you with me?

Rami:
Yeah?

Michael:
Yeah!

Rami:
Yeah.

Michael:
Yeah!

Rami:
Yeah!

Michael:
Yeah!

Rami & Michael:
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Rami:
Hang on – I need a rest.

Melanie:
As Rami mentioned, football is called soccer in Australia and America.
There you have it – another sports day outside, avoiding those nasty UV rays from the sun… well, at least most people are having fun. Until next time!
