Dear Readers,
Welcome to our first edition for 2020!
We love this time of year at Primary Times, with Spring just around
the corner and lots of great activities to look forward to as the year
progresses. Already we are getting news about holiday activities, some
of which begin in the February half term.
As regular readers will know, we always include information from our
local theatres and a selection of activities around the county in our
WOW pages, which you can enjoy as a family. There are so many to
choose from, it’s not possible to include them all in our magazine but
you can see more on our website www.primarytimes.co.uk While
you’re looking, why not enter some of our fabulous competitions too?
We’re supporting the Brain Tumour Research charity again this year,
which is very popular with schools and especially with families who
have been affected by this terrible disease. So please do join in the
‘Wear A Hat Day’ on the Friday 27th March if you can – we’ll all be
wearing ours!
We’ll be back with our Easter edition on 23rd March well before the
Easter holiday, so you can plan your activities for the longer days and
warmer weather.
Best wishes
Sue, Kate & all the
