Dear Reader Welcome to the Christmas Issue of Primary Times. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There’s lots to celebrate and plenty to do to keep you entertained throughout the <strong>Winter</strong>. You’ll find lots of fantastic events and activities in our What’s On Guide, many of them are free, so pop along and join in the fun. Santa is making many appearances around the region before taking to his sleigh for the big day. On page 4 there is a list of all the places you can see Santa before Christmas Day - finding him couldn’t be easier! Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a Panto or a show and you’ll find something to entertain the whole family in our Box Office pages. Don’t forget to enter our fantastic competitions. There are almost too many to mention this month, but you could win tickets to see Cinderella, Aladdin, Snow White, The Bear or The Magic Porridge Pot AND a chance to win a family ticket to The Royal Mint Experience! Finally, everyone at Primary Times wishes you all a joyous festive time, and a wonderful 2018. We’ll see you next year for more fun ideas, events and competitions! Don’t forget, to let us know if there’s something exciting happening at your school, you can email us at sam@schoolspublishing.co.uk Best wishes, Marion, Sam S, Sam, Carol & Amie 4 Where's Santa? 8 WOW 16 Oh Christmas Tree 20 Top Tips 26 Pinboard 28 Box Office 32 Competitions CALLING ALL FAMILIES AND TEACHERS!
