Dear Reader<br />
Welcome to our <strong>May</strong> half term issue!<br />
With the weather hotting up and <strong>May</strong> half term looming we are<br />
delighted to offer you lots of wonderful activities and events to keep<br />
your children busy over the coming weeks and during the holiday<br />
week. Many of our WOW listings are either free or very low cost.<br />
<strong>May</strong> half term can be a bit tricky when it comes to keeping the<br />
children busy – particularly <strong>for</strong> working parents who prefer not to<br />
take extended time off so close to the long summer holidays. We<br />
have lots of ‘funtastic’ suggestions that will be a big hit with your<br />
kids, from holiday activity camps to fun days out, and even a free<br />
screening of Inside Out!<br />
Our regular Box Office feature offers lots of family favourites to<br />
choose from – a trip to the theatre is always a joyous adventure!<br />
Plus competitions in this issue include family tickets to The Hunting<br />
of the Snark, to see Diwrnod Hyfryd Sali Mali, <strong>for</strong> Joust! and five free<br />
days at a Sports Summer Camp!<br />
We hope you enjoy this issue and if you have any news to celebrate,<br />
children to praise or school events to include in our Summer issue,<br />
please email marion@schoolspublishing.co.uk by 10th June.<br />
Best wishes,<br />
Marion, Sam, Carol & Alison<br />
