🌟 Class Structure 2025–26

Next academic year, there will be a slight change to our class structure. From September, Nursery will be a separate class based in the Cwtch, and we will have three single-year group classes. This is to accommodate the 10 new pupils joining us — I’m sure you will all join me in offering a warm welcome to these new pupils and their families as they become part of our Llangan community.

Here’s the class structure for 2025–26:

Year Group	Class Name	Teacher(s)	Support
Nursery	Dosbarth Gwenynen	Mrs Stevens	Miss Davies
Reception / Year 1	Dosbarth Pili Pala	Miss Llewellyn (3 days) / Miss Hughes (2 days)	Mrs Woodward (HLTA), Mrs Jones, Mrs J Jones
Year 2 / 3	Dosbarth Tylluan Eira	Mrs L Jarman-Davies	Mr Rees
Year 4	Dosbarth Draenog	Mr Howles	Mrs Jones (interventions)
Year 5	Dosbarth Mochyn Daear	Miss Spiller	—
Year 6	Dosbarth Llwynog	Mrs Heavyside & Mrs Antoniou	—

Our wrap-around Nursery provision will continue in the afternoons, supported by Miss Davies.

🌾 Farmer’s Market Success!

On Friday, children across the school put their learning about farming, food production, and enterprise into practice at our Farmer’s Market.

A huge well done to all of our children for their brilliant enterprise skills and hard work creating everything we sold — we’re so proud of their effort, creativity, and teamwork. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, and families who came along to support the event — you helped make it such a success!

Each class will now decide how to spend their profits on projects that matter to them.

🛍️ Here’s what was on offer:
🍦 Nursery & Reception – Ice Creams & Eton Mess (£2)
🍓 Year 1 & 2 – Fresh Fruit Smoothies (£2)
🌿 Year 3 – Herb Bouquets (£1.50), Wildflower Bouquets (£5), Veg Boxes (£15)
🍪 Year 4 – Flapjacks (£1)
🍓 Year 5 & 6 – Homemade Jam (Small £3.50 / Large £4.50)

🍓 Year 3 Strawberry Farm Visit

Year 3 enjoyed a fascinating (and at times, infuriating!) trip to Springfield Strawberry Farm in Llandow — one of only two industrial-scale strawberry farms in Wales.

They were amazed to learn the farm grows over 570 tonnes of strawberries from 375,000 plants each year, using sustainable methods like biological pest control, bee pollination, and coconut husk compost.

🔬 Mad Science Visit

This week, our friends from Mad Science delivered a “chemically fantastic” assembly to spark excitement ahead of workshops in September. Don’t forget to sign up if you’d like to take part!
