When Scarlett joined primary school last September a whole new world was opened to me. Primary Times Essex magazine was introduced to me quite early on in the year, long before I had made friends and learnt about local activities though word of mouth, so I welcomed all the information I suddenly had at my fingertips.
Primary Times Essex Magazine
Primary Times Essex magazine is a wonderful ‘What’s on and where’ guide of family activities and events aimed at primary school age in children Essex. The magazine is packed full of information on life with children, great competitions, clubs to attend and days out to enjoy together. It is free of charge and you are likely to find it stuffed somewhere in your children’s bookbag as they fly out of the school gates!
The delightful Primary Times Essex Magazine team can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

I too love the world of info Primary Times and Kid Around provide. Because.of them we’ve done loads but I especially liked it when I saw an ad about an Apple day at a farm in Chelmsford last year. It was a fantastic day

Rotting fruit
A bunch of wild flowers, when I asked her where they had come from she didn’t know. A nice suprise but a bit of a mystery!
Leaves, always leaves
not me but my mum who many years ago was a school supervisor and accompanied some kids to the zoo. Somehow one child managed to get a penguin in his bag and I do not mean the chocolate type!
Snacks…
Someone else’s hair band.
When my daughter was 5 she hid her book bag upstairs which seemed unusual so I sneaked upstairs and got it to have a look. I found a worm wrapped up in tissue. I asked her why there was a worm in her book bag and she said that her and her best friend both brought one home to try and save them. I couldn’t tell her off because it was too cute and funny.
Rotten Conkers!
Wet knickers. Not good! X
We aren’t at the book bag stag yet, but the little man is already pretty good at stashing his little treasures in my handbag. Shells and stones are his favourites. x
The much acquired much sort after Loom Bands
we seem to get all sorts of twigs and stones ‘collected’
very dried flowers along with magic sticks..
Hey there, You have performed an incredible job. I’ll definitely digg it and in my view suggest to my friends. I am sure they’ll be benefited from this web site.
Lots of grass

Neither of mine are at school yet, but I often find a collection of items in my daughter’s preschool bag. Usually leaves, stones, bits of rubbish from the walk to preschool. But the worst is when I find things ‘borrowed’ from other kids – shoes, hats or toys!
sticks and leaves that she had collected from the playground and had dried and crumbled in the bottom of her bag
sticks!
A whole nettle, with roots!
Someone elses t shirt
He hasn’t gone to school yet but from his toddler times? Piece of pasta from the play section lol
