Dear Readers,
Primary Times is independently published and distributed free through national primary schools in North & East Yorkshire . It aims
to inform families and children about current educational issues, forthcoming events, courses, attractions and to give teachers,
pupils and parents the opportunity to participate in the magazine by adding to its contents or by joining in the competitions.
It is NOT our intention to publish any racist, sexist or politically based material whatsoever. We also undertake not to carry any
advertising which we would consider to be offensive to young families or harmful to the best interests of young children. Primary
Times would like to thank all the schools in North & East Yorkshire for their assistance in distributing the magazine and for their
contributions to its contents. We would also like to thank all the advertisers who have supported this publication and therefore
made it possible. Please support their endeavours when and where you can. The copyright on all written material, logos and
advertising artwork produced by our studio remains with Primary Times or with the relevant contributor. Primary Times is
currently publishing over 2 million copies per issue under franchise licences throughout Britain.
Welcome to the Winter issue of Primary Times. We can’t
believe how quickly 2019 has flown by! With Christmas,
Hanukkah, and more right around the corner, this is a
wonderful time of year full of celebrations for the whole
family. There are so many exciting activities and events on in
the upcoming weeks, there’s something for everyone! Many
of these listed events are free or low cost – which might be
especially helpful at this time of year!
There are lots of opportunities to meet Father Christmas
before he travels the world on Christmas Eve. Make sure you
check out our What’s On Where pages to see where he’ll be
so you don’t miss him!
Plus, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without a fun
pantomime or show! Our Box Office pages are filled with
brilliant performances; check to see what’s on local to you.
We’ve got everything from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
to Cinderella.
From everyone here at Primary Times, we wish you happy
holidays and a fantastic start to the new year.
With very best wishes,
The Primary Times Team

WELCOME
Love trees and the environment?
There aren’t many industries planting trees these days, but the paper industry plants and grows far more than it consumes. As the
most recycled product in the world paper remains one of the more environmentally friendly products due to its ability to be recycled
over again. Here are some interesting facts that might change the way you view paper products like magazines.
• The paper and magazine sector is one of
the lowest industrial emitters of greenhouse
gases, accounting for less than 1%
of all EU greenhouse gas emissions
• All of our magazines are printed on
recyclable paper which is sustainably
sourced. Paper is also one of the most
recycled products in the world.
• Thanks to growers like us, the European
forest has been expanding by an area
equivalent to 1,500 football pitches a day!
• As the paper industry relies on a reliable
source of wood fibre, it plants more trees
than are used, which helps in contributing
to reducing the amount of Co2 in the air
• By choosing a paper magazine you are
putting back into the earth by indirectly
planting more trees!
so do we
• Myth buster: you may think that
electronic devices are less harmful to the
environment however in 2016 alone, 447
million tons of e-waste was generated and
these numbers are increasing each year. Vast
amounts of water and electricity are used to
power and cool the electronic servers
• Greenhouse gases created by these
electronic media servers contribute to a less
than environmentally friendly planet earth
• 72% of consumers worldwide still prefer to
read a printed magazine, such as Primary
Times, compared to reading electronically
• A printed magazine helps with quality
family time by reading the publication
together, compared to an electronic device
which is usually read alone. Electronic devices
can increase chances of developing myopia
