The Great Llangan Bake Off

Monday saw the return of the Great Llangan Bake Off, with children across the school showcasing their amazing baking skills. Working together with their families at home, the children produced fantastic bakes, which were judged by grandparents from our school community. The judges had the tricky task of selecting winners from each year group, who were awarded medals for their efforts.

At the end of the day, the PTA held a cake sale, raising an impressive £292.53 to support their campaign to buy a new school stage. A huge thank you to our incredible PTA for organising this brilliant event and to everyone who participated. Check out more on the PTA Blog section of the website!
