Dear Readers,
Welcome to our May half-term issue! We’ve had a wonderful
Easter break with the warmer weather and the days getting
longer, and because Easter was so late this year, we’re nearly
at the May half term holiday, so it won’t be long before we
are thinking about the Summer holidays. This is the time to
plan for holiday camps and activities and there are many to
choose from this year.
In this issue we are delighted to bring you a brilliant choice
of events and activities for all the family to enjoy, many of
which are free. There are some fabulous family shows listed
on our Box Office page for your budding theatre goers too.
Education and tuition features in this edition, as many
parents are looking at the options available preparing for the
new academic year in September.
As always, don’t forget to enter our competitions on page
22 and do take a look at our newspage, there’s an exciting
national competition there too!
We hope you enjoy this issue, and make some lovely
family memories over the coming weeks.
With very best wishes,
The Primary Times Team
