Annwyl Rhieni a Gofalwyr,

 

🌼 End of the Spring Term – Where Has the Time Gone? 🐣As we come to the end of the spring term, it’s hard to believe how quickly the weeks have flown by! The children have worked incredibly hard, and it has been a wonderful term filled with learning, laughter and lots of memorable moments. 🌟

Today, we are especially excited for our Easter Bonnet Parade 🎀🐰 — always a highlight of this time of year. We can’t wait to see the children’s creativity shine!

A huge thank you for your continued support throughout the term. It truly makes all the difference.

We wish all our families a wonderful Easter holiday 🐣🌷 and look forward to welcoming the children back for what is sure to be a vibrant and exciting summer term. Our teachers are already busy planning lots of fun activities and learning experiences! ☀️📚

Enjoy the break, everyone! 💛

🌟 Llanrhidian Primary Selected as a Swansea Council Flagship Community Focused School! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to share that Llanrhidian Primary School has been chosen as one of Swansea Council’s Flagship Community Focused Schools!

Swansea Council received a very high number of strong applications, and competition for places on the pilot was exceptionally tough. Being selected is a huge recognition of the fantastic work already happening within our school to support learners, families, and the wider community.

This exciting opportunity means we will now be working closely with the council as part of the next phase of the Community Focused Schools Pilot. Over the coming weeks, we will be meeting with the project lead to plan how this partnership can help us further strengthen the support and opportunities we provide for our children and families.

Thank you to our wonderful staff, families, and community—this achievement reflects the hard work, care, and commitment we see every day.

We look forward to sharing updates with you as the project develops!

ECO News

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌟🌟Last week we told you about our Plantinum Eco Schools award and this week Morgan Nicholas from 'Keep Wales Tidy' has sent us a lovely message after visiting the school for the assessment.🌱🌱🌱🌱🌟

'I really loved seeing how embedded Eco-Schools is within the school, and how passionate your Eco Warriors are about the initiatives—especially the simple but powerful actions like turning lights off!

Your y Goedwig is such a special space. It’s clear how much it’s valued by both pupils and staff, and it provides a brilliant outdoor learning environment that feels really well used and cared for.

The polytunnel is fantastic too—such a great way to keep outdoor learning going even when the weather isn’t on your side. It was lovely to see so much being grown, including sunflowers and strawberries, and to see natural crafts being brought into learning.

I also think it’s amazing that you’ve been able to sell trees to parents to help raise funds for Eco-Schools—such a great way to involve the wider school community.

And it’s brilliant to see you taking part in things like 30 Days Wild (and even hugging trees!). It’s such a lovely, accessible resource, and it’s great to see it being used so well.'

 

✏️ Easter Home Learning – Ready, Respectful, Safe Character Competition

This year we have been fostering positive behaviour through our whole-school approach: “Ready, Respectful, Safe.”
To support this, our pupils have helped to develop three new behaviour characters:

🦋 Barod Butterfly
🐦 Respectful Robin
🕸️ Mr Safety Web

For Easter Home Learning, we would like to give all pupils the opportunity to design and create an image for each of these characters – just like Mr Colourful all those years ago!

🎉 Three winning designs (one for each character) will be announced in assembly on Friday 17th April.

📩 All entries should be handed in to Mrs Chafey and must include your child’s name.

We can’t wait to see the creativity and imagination from our wonderful pupils!

🌱 Planting Day – Friday 24th April! 🌼

Our annual Planting Day will take place on Friday 24th April! 🌷🪴
Children will spend the day preparing our garden areas and adding lots of colour to make our school grounds beautiful for the summer term. 🌿✨
