Llansannor & Llanharry C/W Primary School

It is with great pleasure that I share the recent visit of Bishop Mary and Beccie Matteo, the Head of Education, along with Rev Angela. Our school was honoured to be chosen as one of the handful of schools they visited.

During their time with us, our dedicated Worship Leaders proudly showcased the heart of our institution by guiding them through a comprehensive tour. We were thrilled to unveil the captivating "Windows of Wonder" and the thought-provoking "Prayer Trail," both of which left a lasting impression on our esteemed guests.

These visits serve as a testament to the unwavering commitment of our school community towards fostering an environment that nurtures spiritual growth and academic excellence. We take immense pride in the accomplishments of our students and the tireless efforts of our staff in creating a space where learning and faith converge harmoniously.

Well done to all those who recently completed the flourish sessions.

During the Flourish sessions the children have developed many skills to support their learning journey in comprehensive school.

Thank you to Rev Angela for spending time with our pupils in these sessions.

Our playground pals recently led an assembly, explaining the new zones implemented in our playground. Their initiative in taking charge and guiding their peers is commendable. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to these responsible students for their efforts in ensuring a well-organised and enjoyable playtime experience for all.

Our Year 6 pupils recently returned from their residential trip to Llangrannog, and it was an experience filled with adventure, camaraderie, and lasting memories.

During their time away, our students had the opportunity to engage in a variety of thrilling activities. They experienced the adrenaline rush of go-karting, pushing themselves to the limits while navigating the twists and turns of the track. The climbing sessions challenged their physical strength and determination, as they scaled new heights and conquered their fears.

I am incredibly proud to share that our pupils were exemplary ambassadors for our school throughout the residential trip. Their impeccable behaviour and positive attitudes were a true reflexion of the values we instil in them. They demonstrated respect, responsibility, and a genuine appreciation for the opportunities presented to them.

As we look back on this remarkable experience, we cannot help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. Moments like these not only foster personal growth but also strengthen the bonds within our school community.

First, we had the pleasure of hosting a delightful flute and saxophone concert for our parents. This musical performance allowed our talented students to showcase their hard work and dedication to their craft. The melodic tunes filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that left everyone in attendance thoroughly entertained and impressed.

A fantastic opportunity, well done all!

We have had a great time celebrating Star and Spark Day recently. A variety of exciting activities were available to encourage the use of the Welsh Language.

One of the highlights of the day was the outdoor disco on the field, where the children danced enthusiastically to lively Welsh music. It was indeed a pleasant sight to see the children enjoying the Welsh language in such a natural and exciting way.

We are very proud of our efforts to promote the Welsh language in the school, and we look forward to more exciting events in the near future.

It's been an exciting time at our school as we've come together to spruce up our grounds and add some vibrant new plant life. Pupils, staff, and even staff family members have all rolled up their sleeves and gotten involved to help us!

We've been busy tidying up our outdoor spaces, ensuring they're clean and welcoming for everyone to enjoy. But that's not all – we've also been hard at work planting a variety of beautiful plants and flowers.

As we continue to make progress, we look forward to enjoying the fruits of our labour and creating an even more inviting and inspiring learning environment for all.

We have been joined by a variety of Inspiring People this term. Thank you to Ollie Cooper, Swansea City and Wales football player, who enjoyed spending time with your wonderful pupils. Thank you for taking the time to come back to Llansannor!

Thank you to Andy who spoke to our pupils about his kayaking journey full of adventure!

We are very grateful to all who gave up their time to spend with us.

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates from our school.

First and foremost, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the professionals who visited our classrooms recently. We were delighted to have the dentist, police officers, firefighters, doctors, and eye surgeons come and share their invaluable knowledge and experiences with our students. Their visits not only educated our children about the importance of their roles but also inspired them to dream big and explore different career paths. A huge round of applause to these incredible individuals for taking the time to engage with our young learners.

Our outdoor learning sessions continue to be a hit! The students had a blast exploring positional language through hands-on activities in the great outdoors. It's amazing how much more engaging and memorable lessons can be when they're taken outside the traditional classroom setting. Who knew learning could be so much fun?

And let's not forget about our "scratch and sniff" outdoor learning session! Pupils were absolutely thrilled to put their senses to the test and explore the world around them through scents. They experienced nature in a whole new way.

I'm constantly in awe of our students' curiosity, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn. We continue to inspire young minds and foster a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

Thank you, parents and guardians, for your unwavering support and for entrusting us with the education of your children. Together, we're creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.

It is my pleasure to share with you the latest updates and happenings from our PS 3. We have been engaged in a variety of exciting activities and learning experiences that have enriched our students' knowledge and skills.

One of the highlights was our visit to the Royal Mint, where our students had the opportunity to witness firsthand the fascinating process of minting coins. This hands-on experience allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate steps involved in creating the currency we use every day.

In our English classes, our students have been honing their descriptive writing skills. Through engaging prompts and creative exercises, they have learned to paint vivid pictures with their words, capturing the essence of people, places, and objects in a way that captivates the reader's imagination.

Our science lessons have taken on a practical and interactive approach as well. Our students have been exploring the respiratory system in a unique way – by recreating it! Through this hands-on activity, they have gained a better comprehension of the intricate workings of the human body and the vital role the respiratory system plays in our overall health.

Additionally, we have embarked on a project that celebrates the remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to our world. Our students have been creating inspirational posters, highlighting the achievements and legacies of these remarkable people. This project not only fosters an appreciation for history and diverse cultures but also encourages our students to dream big and strive for greatness.

We are truly proud of the enthusiasm and dedication our students have shown in these endeavours, and we look forward to witnessing their continued growth and success.
