February Half Term 2017 : Contents Editor’s Letter Celebrating our 100th issue! Hello! Welcome to the February half term edition of Primary Times in Essex. Whilst still enjoying being cosy inside, there is no doubt now that the days are drawing out and the sun is shining just a little more brightly. The outdoors is beckoning and our thoughts are turning to what to do and where to go. We’ve found lots of fabulous ideas for things to do with your family, both during half term as well in the weeks leading up to Easter. The Primary Times Star Awards have been presented to the worthy winners - thank you to all our many readers who voted. Essex is full of an amazing breadth of places to visit, it is a great place to live and work and bring up a family. See page 6 for the results and inspiration for a day out with your children. It is also something of a tradition that in February we publish our ‘Pull-Out Party Guide’. Whenever your child’s birthday is in the year, keep hold of this magazine and refer back to it when you are looking for inspiration and something a little bit different to mark your celebration. We have our own celebration this issue – it’s our 100th issue! Back in the summer of 2000, we decided to set up a magazine from the family farm near Braintree in the heart of rural Essex. The idea was to produce a free publication, made available through schools and libraries which would give parents of primary school children information on ‘what’s on, where to go’ in Essex. 17 years and 100 issues on, the magazine has grown massively. Schools from every corner of Essex now receive and distribute Primary Times seven times a year. Our own children grew up with the magazine and it was very much part of school life seeing Primary Times coming home in the book bag before each holiday. We know that Primary Times is enjoyed and referred to again and again and we get a lot of great feedback from our readers. We would like to thank the hard-working staff at all our schools throughout Essex who make sure that the magazine gets home to the parents and carers. Our next issue is out 20th March in schools and libraries throughout Essex. Bridie Cousins, Assistant Editor News Around Star Awards Winners Roundabout Let’s Party!
