Hello Readers!<br />
Welcome back to the first Primary Times magazine<br />
of <strong>2019</strong>! We hope that you had a lovely Christmas<br />
break full of festive activities, and have had a<br />
fantastic start to the New Year.<br />
This half-term can be a little tricky with the short days<br />
and heavy weather, so it’s important to stay busy with<br />
fun things to do that will keep the whole family smiling!<br />
Our What’s On Where pages are filled to the brim with<br />
a huge range of activities for your little ones. We’ve got<br />
everything from craft clubs to family gardening. We always<br />
make sure to include lots of events that are free or low cost,<br />
so you can fill your schedule worry-free. Our Box Office<br />
pages are also packed with family-friendly shows; don’t<br />
forget to book in advance with the host venue!<br />
Additionally, there are some exciting national days coming<br />
up: the Chinese New Year is on 5th <strong>February</strong>, Valentine’s<br />
Day is on the 14th of <strong>February</strong>, Pancake Day is on the 5th<br />
of March, and Mother’s Day is on the 31st March. Be sure<br />
to keep an eye on our events pages for any special events<br />
related to these – they only come around once a year!<br />
With very best wishes,<br />
The Primary Times Team<br />
