Multi-Skills 2016
Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Cowbridge Leisure Center for the Multi-Skills Festival. Llanfair pupils along with six other schools in the Vale enjoyed taster sessions of Squash, Badminton, Netball and Gymnastics.
We transformed our role play area into an Anderson Shelter
Christmas Decorations
Recently we have been learning about 'Make do and Mend' and 'Rationing' during World War 2 and with this in mind we designed and made Christmas decorations using scraps of felt, odd buttons and beads.

Spring is here..... what a lovely showing of daffodils in the field and car park.
Preparations have begun to transform Llanfair into a pollinating friendly area. Mrs Trigg along with Eco-club members created a bug home in the pond area and year 6 named the home 'Bugginham Palace'. A big thank you to Ethan for making a fabulous wooden sign.

Thank you to all the volunteers and parents that helped on the transformation day in March. Everyone worked really hard and we all achieved so much in a short space of time. Not forgetting Rob and his team from Green Future Landscapes who prepared the raised beds and surrounds.
