Welcome to the Christmas issue of Primary Times We’ve enjoyed putting this issue together for you, although it has been very difficult to keep our festive spirit under control! All those pictures of Christmas trees, snowmen and elves has made it almost impossible not to start writing our lists to Santa already. With Christmas and New Year around the corner, it’s an exciting time of year and there is plenty to do to keep you entertained. You’ll find lots of fantastic events and activities in our What’s On Guide, many of them are free, so pop along and join in the fun. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a Panto or a play, and you’ll find something to entertain the whole family in our Box Office listings. Oh yes you will! As usual there are some amazing competitions to enter as well. There are family tickets to see Home For Christmas at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre and A Family Ticket to The North Pole Adventure to be won. Be sure to enter and you could be a winner! Finally, everyone at Primary Times wishes you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2018. We’ll see you next year for more fun ideas, events and competitions! Don’t forget, to let us know if there’s something exciting happening at your school!
