Dear Readers, 

Welcome to the first half-term edition of the school year! We 

hope that your little ones are settling in well and enjoying the 

new experiences and positive challenges that this academic 

year has brought. Plus, now that the weather is cooling down 

we can start looking forward to firework displays, wrapping up 

in cosy jumpers, and lovely warm mugs of hot chocolate. 

There are so many events and activities on offer over the 

next few weeks; we hope that everyone will be able to find 

something that they’ll enjoy. We’ve got everything from 

Imaginative Fun at Kidz Town Role-Play in Stirling to picking 

your own pumpkins at Arnprior Farm ! Pantomime season is 

also approaching, so make sure you check out our Box Office 

section so you don’t miss out! In the meantime, there are lots 

of local fun shows for kids of all ages to enjoy, including Little 

Red Riding Hood at The Byre Theatre in St Andrews. 

Our next magazine will be out well in time for the Christmas 

holidays, so until then we hope you have a lovely half-term break 

full of fun and exciting activities for the whole family! 

With very best wishes, 

The Primary Times Team
