<strong>Feb</strong>ruary Half Term 20<strong>17</strong> : Contents<br />
Dear reader...<br />
Welcome to our <strong>Feb</strong>ruary half term issue.<br />
We hope that you all enjoyed the festive<br />
break and that you have managed not to<br />
get the awful cold virus that seems to have<br />
swept across our country. Daylight hours<br />
are already stretching out and provide<br />
encouraging thoughts that outdoor play after<br />
school is not far away now.<br />
In this issue we bring you a whole host of events and activities<br />
that will be happening across <strong>West</strong> <strong>London</strong> during half term and<br />
beyond – indoor and outdoor activities that will help to keep your<br />
children entertained, from craft activities to steam train rides! There<br />
is something to suit everyone! We haven’t been able to include all<br />
activities in this issue so please don’t forget to check online at<br />
www.primarytimes.net/west_london for additional things to do.<br />
We have an exclusive discount from Oxygen Freejumping so do<br />
make sure you take advantage of this fabulous offer – see page<br />
5 for more details. Plus our annual party guide starts on page 13<br />
offering lots of inspiration and ideas to suit your budget, including the<br />
opportunity to win a kids crafting party with Paperchase on page 16!<br />
Don’t forget to send us your news – are you holding any special<br />
events at Easter that you would like us to include in our listings? –<br />
