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.
