Small plastic bottle containing water. Old tablespoon for mixing. Proper dress is also important. In Northern areas, students should wear waterproof footwear and warm socks. If possible, they should always dress in layers including thermal underwear tops and bottoms, shirt, pants, sweater and wind-proof jacket.
