A Huge Diolch to Our Incredible Volunteers!

What a team effort! Our recent Help Out Day was a huge success thanks to the incredible support of our parent volunteers. You’ve made a real difference to our school environment, creating safer, tidier, and more welcoming spaces for our pupils to enjoy.

Here’s just a snapshot of what was achieved:

• ✅ Cleared brambles and blackthorn in the arboretum

• ✅ Installed a brand new water tap (cemented in and everything!)

• ✅ Moved a mountain of old wood to create a safer play space

• ✅ Tidied hedges, compost bins, and weeded the raised beds

• ✅ Pruned apple trees and repaired the polytunnel door

• ✅ Emptied the giant mint trough and made the garden beautiful again!

Diolch o galon to every single person who rolled up their sleeves to help. Your time, energy and kindness are truly appreciated.

Congratulations to Our Table Tennis Team!

We’re so proud of our fantastic table tennis team, who represented Team Llangan with pride at the South & West Wales Primary School Championships in Swansea. Organised by Table Tennis Wales, the event brought together schools from across the region — and our pupils shone with determination, teamwork and incredible sportsmanship.

Well done, team – you were outstanding!

 Plaza 3 Visit the Senedd – “Climate! What’s the Emergency?”

This term, our older pupils in Plaza 3 have been investigating the climate crisis as part of their Spring inquiry. They’ve been asking big questions like:
What impact do our choices have? How do we make our voices heard? What does it take to create real change?

To deepen their learning, they visited the Welsh Parliament to:

• Meet local representatives and discuss climate issues

• Learn how laws are made and how citizens can influence change

• Discover the power of youth voice in tackling global challenges

This powerful visit marks the beginning of their work to create their own sustainability campaigns, culminating in our very own Llangan Sustainability Summit 2025. Our pupils are already proving themselves to be ethical, informed citizens with something to say — and the courage to say it.

Let’s get loud. Let’s get heard. Let’s make a difference. 🌍

The highlight? A talented henna artist who decorated pupils’ hands with beautiful designs – what a treat!

Eid Mubarak to all who celebrated – we’re so proud of our vibrant, inclusive school community.

Llangan Sustainability Summit 2024

What an afternoon! Our whole school came together this week for a celebration of everything we’ve learned about climate change and sustainability this term.

Led by our passionate Eco Committee, the dining hall was transformed with:

• Stunning inquiry boards

• Artwork inspired by Love Our Earth by Jane Cabrera

• Powerful songs and presentations from every class

From Dosbarth Pili Pala to Llwynog, the children’s voices rang out with one clear message: small actions make a big difference.

Let’s keep turning off taps, recycling with pride, and loving our Earth – every single day. 🌿
