Primary Times Staffordshire Easter18

Hello Readers!
It’s Spring! Well, nearly. After the recent snow apocalypse,
you’d be forgiven for thinking that the warm weather will never
come, but be assured, Spring is coiled, waiting to be sprung.
This time of year is all about new beginnings and you’ll start to see
new shoots of life appearing soon. With the warmer weather on
the way (hopefully) you’ll be able to get outside and enjoy it. In
our ’What’s On’ Guide, you’ll find lots of amazing activities to keep
you busy this Spring, including Easter egg hunts, egg-tastic fun
days and many more during the Easter holidays. We’ve highlighted
a selection on pages 12 and 13 for you. If you’d like to let us know
what your favourite aspects of this time of year are, or if you have
some lovely pictures of the world around you, we’d love to see
them!
In this issue of Primary Times, you can read about ‘What’s New’ on
the market for children and take a look at the ‘Family Travel Ideas’
to get inspiration for a family break. If you fancy seeing a family
show, why not cast your eye over the selection in our Box Office
listings? It might also be worth checking out the magazine money
saving offers highlighted on page 6 and don’t forget to enter our
five competitions on pages 22 and 23. There’s lots of great prizes to
be won!
Have a wonderful Spring and Easter and we’ll see you all again for
our May edition.
