🎉 This Week at Llangan

Tuesday:
Our Years 1, 2 and 3 pupils had a brilliant day at the Cluster Olympics at Y Bontfaen Primary School! They tried a range of athletic activities, built teamwork, and — most importantly — had lots of fun. A huge thank you to the team at Y Bontfaen for such a well-organised event!

Wednesday:

• Years 3 and 4 took part in an engaging More Than Flags & Rainbows workshop, exploring diversity and inclusivity through thoughtful activities.

• Years 5 and 6 built on their learning about family diversity, taking part in a fantastic workshop led by Ian from More Than Flags & Rainbows. The children explored how language can hurt and the importance of standing up for kindness and respect — a really valuable learning experience.

Friday:
Years 4, 5 & 6 attended the Cluster Olympics at Cardiff Met’s National Indoor Athletics Centre (NIAC). It was an amazing day filled with track and field activities, teamwork, and sportsmanship — and no competitive winning, just the joy of taking part and embracing the Olympic values of friendship, excellence, and respect.

👀 Looking Ahead to Next Week

• Year 4 Trip – Visit to the Sihowy Valley Honey Bee Company

• Friday 13th June – PTA Father’s Day Stall

As always, a huge thank you for your continued support — the children are thriving and it’s a joy to see them engaged in so many exciting opportunities.

Wishing you all a lovely week ahead — and fingers crossed for sunshine for Sports Day!
