Dear Readers, 

Spring has arrived! Here at Primary Times we love this time of 

year; the days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, 

the flowers are starting to bloom, and the first baby animals are 

starting to be born. (Also, the kids can start playing outside more 

again which can be very helpful for busy parents!)

Happy 30th Birthday Primary 

Times 

To celebrate 30 years of the 

publication, Primary Times 

has abirthday wish; for the 

government to create anew law 

to make it alegal requirement to 

have aworking smoke alarm on 

every floor of every house where 

a child sleeps. 

According to government 

data, athird of all fires have 

no smoke detection present 

or working, which suggests a 

huge number of the 18 million 

family homes in the UK could be 

unprotected and leaving children 

at unnecessary risk. 

Robert Nisbet, Chief Executive 

of Primary Times, said “having 

once woken to aserious house 

fire myself, this is asubject close 

in another country –through Muddy 

Puddle Walk resources. 

Sign up your nursery or family now 

at www.MuddyPuddleWalk.org to 

receive your free Fundraising Pack 

to my heart. Primary Times wants 

to help raise the awareness of 

house fires and if we can change 

the law then it will send an 

important message about fire 

awareness. We urge everyone 

to sign our petition because we 

know it will help to save lives”.

Spotting the differentsigns of spring 

with your children using the five senses 

Sight 

As spring comes around, flowers 

bloom, om leaves bud, birds build nests, 

and our gardens come to life. One 

of the most obvious signs of spring’s 

arrival isthe appearance of flowers. 

Another sign to look out for isthe 

appearance of earthworms, who only 

come above ground once the weather 

warms up and the soil begins to soften 

ready for new root growth. 

Smell 

Our sense of smell comes alive 

with the change in seasons. Few 

things depict that spring has fully 

arrived like the fresh smell of 

its flowers, the earthy fragrance 

after a rain shower, and the 

wonderful odour of freshly-cut 

grass. Encourage your children 

to identify the soothing scents of 

lilacs, apple blossoms and daffodils 

on a fresh woodland walk. 

Touch 

For a hands-on experience 

with the children, a spring 

scavenger hunt can be a 

great way to explore the 

change in season. Using a 

spring checklist, the whole 

family can collect or tick 

items off as they find them. 

If you prefer, you can also 

record your findings with 

photos and drawings. 

Taste 

Spring greens, fresh berries, 

sprouting broccoli and spicy 

rocket are all signals ofthe 

arrival of spring. With the 

change of season comes the 

perfect opportunity for you 

and your children to discover 

new seasonal recipes, pot 

an indoor herb garden on 

asunnywindowsill or visit 

alocal farmers market for 

fresh produce. 

Sound 

Bird song, April showers, a 

babbling brook, and bees buzzing 

are all welcomed sounds of 

the return of spring. Set up a 

bird feeder in your garden and 

encourage the children to decipher 

between the different melodies 

of various birds. Frogs and toads 

also tend to make an appearance 

in the spring months, listen out 

for their high-pitched calls ls in wet 

areas like lakes and ponds.


Seashore Safari 



Join us as we explore the shore looking for 

the weird and wonderful wildlife that live 

in our rockpools. Suitable for ages 5+. All

Encourage them toexplore 

their love of music with... 

Rak-Su 

Primary Times interviews Rak-Su to discuss 

their rise to fame and pursuing your dreams 

Made up of Ashley 

Fongho, Jamaal 

Shurland, 

Mustafa Rahimtulla and Myles 

Stephenson, Rak-Su are the 

beloved UK boy band who 

rose to fame when they won 

the fourteenth series of The X 

Factor in 2017. Primary Times 

has teamed up with them to 

explore how children can be 

encouraged to embrace their 

love of music.Despite their 

natural talent, the boys never 

envisaged their lives changing 

as much as they have. “We 

went onto the show to give 

ourselves a shot at being 

musicians full time, we hoped 

that the exposure would get 

Raksu 

us some more fans and in turn 

get us some more live gigs, but 

never imagined it would take 

us this far!” 

“It’s been an amazing journey 

and we’ve got what we wanted, 

the chance to wake up in the 

morning and focus on music as 

not only apassion but ajob as 

well. We’ve travelled to places 

we never dreamt of, including 

playing shows in front of 20-30 

thousand people daily and all 

with our best mates!” 

Their career, however, has 

not come without setbacks. 

“Rejections are always going 

to happen”, they explain, 

“but alot of it is just based 

on opinion.” 

When asked if they have 

any tips on how to deal with 

rejection, they advised to never 

let it reshape your self-image. 

“Learn from the mistakes 

and be honest with yourself 

on what you can improve on. 

You believed in yourself for 

a reason, afew rejections 

or opinions should never be 

powerful enough to break that. 

We had loads of rejections and 

found our stage on X-Factor, 

we never thought a group with 

this much rapping and dancing 

would win aprogramme like 

that. It just shows you anything 

is possible!” 

Taking their inspiration as 

children from the likes of 

Usher and Craig David, Rak-Su 

believe that musical aspirations 

should be encouraged from a 

young age. “Music is amedium 

of emotional release and 

expression. I think it’s vital that 

everyone has that through an 

art form, regardless of what it 

is. Sometimes music can also 

say things in such away that 

you can’t vocalise yourself.” 

For the parents of our young, 

aspiring musicians, Rak-Su 

believe it’s important to ensure 

children believe in themselves 

and understand that hard work 

pays off, no matter what you’re 

aspiring to do. “Be patient 

and give it time but know 

eventually more and more 

people will appreciate you”. 

When asked what one piece 

of advice they would give to 

young, aspiring musicians, the 

boys kept it simple. “Just do it! 

That idea you had, pursue 

it, even if it doesn’t come off 

you’ll never know unless you 

try, you’ve got nothing to lose”
