Dear Parents and Carers,

As we head into a well-earned half term, we’re reflecting on a wonderfully busy, buzzy, and brilliant few weeks at Llangan! From London landmarks to bee hives, swimming strokes to farming adventures—our pupils have been learning in every direction.

 Year 5 & 6 Visit London & The Houses of Parliament

Our Year 5 & 6 pupils had an unforgettable visit to London, where they explored the Houses of Parliament, learnt how democracy works in the UK, and even imagined themselves as future MPs!

The children represented the school superbly, asking insightful questions and showing genuine curiosity. Alongside the political education, they also enjoyed visiting some of the capital’s famous sights. We are so proud of them all.

World Bee Day – A Buzzing Success!🐝

Happy World Bee Day from Llangan!
This week, we officially welcomed our very own colony of honey bees to our brand-new school apiary—thanks to generous support from @thebritishbeecharity.

To mark the occasion, local beekeeper Leah joined us to share how she produces and sells honey. She brought in a real frame of live bees, giving our pupils a safe and close-up look—an unforgettable learning experience!

We’re excited to continue our outdoor learning journey with our buzzing new friends.

🌊 Year 4 Swimming Week

Our fantastic Year 4 pupils have been making a splash at Fontygary Pool all week. From developing water confidence to life-saving techniques, their progress has been fantastic. They've shown resilience, teamwork and perseverance—true Team Llangan learners!

🌍 Rights Ambassadors Workshop

A big thank you to the Vale Rights Ambassadors for leading an excellent session with Year 5 & 6 this week, helping raise awareness of the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child). The workshop was informative, interactive, and inspiring.

Thanks also to our cluster schools and partners:

🚜 Visit to Tytanglwyst Farm

Nursery to Year 2 pupils (Pili Pala and Tylluan Eira) had a brilliant time at Tytanglwyst Dairy Farm. A huge thank you to Rhys and John for a wonderful tour—we learned all about milk production, cream and butter making, and how the farm has diversified with holiday cottages.

🧡 If you’d like to support the farm for offering this visit free of charge, you can still donate via our JustGiving page:
