Llangan Primary School: Weekly Newsletter

Welcome to this week’s headteacher’s update!

Events Round-Up

  • Jump Out Day: On Tuesday, 3rd December, the entire school embraced the spirit of curiosity and discovery with our annual Jump Out Day. A huge thank you to all the family members who joined us to celebrate our learning this term! Sharing our enquiries with you means so much to us and gives our work real purpose.

  • The buzz around the school was incredible, and we’re so proud of what the children have achieved. Diolch yn fawr for being part of it! 💛 Workshops included creative arts, outdoor adventures, and problem-solving challenges, making it a day to remember for everyone. ðŸŒŸ

  • PTA Christmas Movie Night:
    A big thank you to everyone who came along to support our PTA Christmas Movie Night. The evening was full of festive cheer as pupils enjoyed a cosy evening watching films with friends. Thanks to your support, we raised a fantastic £370.60, which will go directly towards enriching the school’s resources and experiences for pupils.

  • Girls’ Football Team:
    Our girls’ football team has once again done us proud! They’ve shown incredible teamwork and determination in their recent matches. A special thanks to their coach and everyone who has supported them along the way. Keep up the great work, team!

  • Infant Production – A Midlife Crisis:
    This year’s Infant production was nothing short of delightful! Performed on Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th December, the children’s adorable and humorous portrayal of A Midlife Crisis had the audience in fits of laughter and filled with festive joy. Thank you to the staff who worked tirelessly to prepare the pupils, and to families who helped with costumes and props.

  • Whole School Trip to the Pantomime:
    Thursday saw the entire school, from Reception to Year 6, travel to Cardiff’s New Theatre to see the Christmas pantomime. The trip was filled with laughter and excitement as the children joined in with all the classic panto fun – boos, cheers, and, of course, “He’s behind you!” A big thank you to the staff and parent helpers who made the day so smooth and enjoyable.

PTA Update

We are so lucky to have an incredible PTA that works tirelessly to support our school. Their efforts are crucial in funding items and projects that benefit all pupils. Recently, the PTA’s fundraising allowed us to purchase a brand-new stage. Our previous stage was no longer safe, and this upgrade means that we can continue to hold productions, concerts, and assemblies that showcase the talents of our pupils.

Thank you to everyone who supports PTA events – you truly make a difference!

Staffing Update

We have some significant staffing changes to share as we approach the new year.

  • Farewell to Mrs. Finucane:
    Mrs. Tracy Finucane, our early years teacher, will be leaving us at the end of the term as he decided to pursue a different career. Her dedication to her role over 14 years in Llanga has left a lasting impact on the pupils and staff, and we wish her the very best in her next chapter. MRs Bethan Hughes will be replacing her in January.

  • Mrs. Jarman-Davies’ Secondment:
    Our ALNCo, Mrs. Jarman-Davies, has been seconded to the Local Authority, where she will be taking on a new challenge supporting schools across the Vale of Glamorgan. While we will greatly miss her expertise and warmth, we are incredibly proud of this achievement and know she will make a huge impact in her new role which is for two terms until Septmeber 2025.

  • Welcome to Mr. Elliss:
    We are delighted to announce that Mr. Ellis will be joining Team Llangan in January. Mr. Ellis is an experienced teacher with a passion for creative and engaging learning. He will be teaching Years 1 and 2 and has already expressed his excitement about becoming part of our school community. We’re sure he’ll be a fantastic addition to the team!

Next Week at Llangan

  • Year 6 Visit to Cowbridge School:
    On Monday, our Year 6 pupils will visit Cowbridge School to watch their Christmas production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. It’s a wonderful opportunity for them to see a professional-quality performance and get a taste of what’s to come in secondary school.

  • Junior Carol Concert:
    Tuesday will bring the sounds of Christmas to Llangan with our Junior Carol Concert. Performances will take place at 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm, showcasing the musical talents of our Key Stage 2 pupils. We hope you can join us for what promises to be a festive and uplifting event.

  • Santa’s Visit:
    Santa Claus is coming to Llangan! On Wednesday 18th December, Santa will make a special visit to school, spreading Christmas magic to pupils and staff alike.

  • Christmas Dinner:
    On Thursday 19th December, the whole school will gather in the hall to share a delicious Christmas Dinner. This annual tradition brings everyone together as one big school family to celebrate the festive season.

Thank you for your continued support of Llangan Primary School. Have a lovely weekend, and we look forward to seeing many of you at next week’s events!
