Primary Times North & East Yorkshire Feb 17

Dear Reader
Welcome to our February half term issue.
We hope that you all enjoyed the festive break and that you
have managed not to get the awful cold virus that seems to
have swept across our country. Daylight hours are already
stretching out and provide encouraging thoughts that outdoor
play after school is not far away now.
On offer are a whole host of events and activities that will be
happening across North Yorkshire during half term and
beyond – indoor and outdoor activities that will help to keep
children entertained, from a space treasure hunt to a puppet
making workshop! There is something to suit all talents and
abilities, and there are lots more events online at
www.primarytimes.net/nyorks.
In this issue – It’s Party Time! – check out our special feature
offering lots of ideas for the perfect party to suit your budget,
discover wild places with the John Muir Award, enter our
fabulous competitions, cook up a treat for Pancake Day
and lots more.
Don’t forget to send us your news – are you holding any special
events at Easter that you would like us to include in our listings –
email us on marion@schoolspublishing.co.uk.
With very best wishes
Marion, Helen, Niki & Charlotte
