Primary Times Staffordshire Feb 18

Hello Readers!
Welcome to 2018 and the latest issue of Primary Times. We hope
you’ve had a wonderful start to the New Year.
The temptation at this time of year is to stay indoors, find
something entertaining on the TV and relax on the sofa under a
blanket until the weather starts to turn distinctly warmer. Whilst
this might sound like a good plan (and it does) there’s always
plenty to see and do once you venture out of the front door.
Our What’s On Guide has plenty of ideas for fun activities and
days out whatever the weather, and to keep the children happy
during the half-term holidays that are fast approaching. If you
fancy something indoors, you could always head to the theatre.
You’ll find the best family shows in our Box Office section.
Now the festive period is over, it is still possible that you want
to party. If you’ve got a child’s birthday coming up in the near
future DON’T PANIC! Our Party Guide is full of ideas to help you
create an amazing memory for all involved. You can also visit our
Pinterest page for party food inspiration www.pinterest.co.uk/

Don’t forget to enter our competition on page 15 offering a great
prize at Laser Quest Stoke, with even more competitions on our
website too. You might also want to take a look at the ‘early bird’
saving on page 15 and reader offers on pages 7–9.
Our next issue will be full of the joys of spring but until then,
here’s to a wonderful start to 2018!
