    Annwyl Rhieni a Gofalwyr,

    As we reach the end of the first half of the autumn term, we reflect on what a wonderfully busy and vibrant few weeks it has been. From pumpkin picking to our marchand harvest, finishing with Wednesday’s spectacular Monster Ball — it’s been a term full of energy and excitement. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make these moments so special, from our dedicated staff to our supportive families. Your contributions are truly appreciated.

    Looking ahead, the next half term brings the sparkle of Christmas preparations! Concert tickets, choir rehearsals, and plenty of “louder” and “slower” await us — it’s a magical time of year, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Please keep an eye on our ‘Dates at a Glance’ section and the blog for all the latest updates.

    When we return, we’ll be holding our first Parents’ Evening of the year — a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with their teacher. During this time, we’ll also be inviting you to complete a short digital questionnaire to share your views. Your feedback is vital in helping us grow and improve together.

    Wishing you all a restful and happy half term break!

    Diolch yn fawr,
    #TeamLlanrhidian

    🌟 Mrs Gosney - Positive Noticing Day 🌟

    We’re really looking forward to Positive Noticing Day on Wednesday 12th November – a chance to celebrate the brilliant things our children do every day. You’re welcome to mark it on another day that week or whenever suits your family best.

    Positive noticing is a simple but powerful way to encourage the behaviours we want to see more of – kindness, effort, curiosity, and resilience. By naming and celebrating these moments, we help children feel seen, valued, and motivated.

    And it’s not just for children! Colleagues, friends, and family members all benefit from being noticed for the right reasons.

    Let’s make positive noticing part of everyday life – not just a one-off event. A kind word, a smile, or a moment of praise can go a long way.

    Thanks for joining us in making this a meaningful day!
