Ysgol Llanllechid had an exceptional Eisteddfod again this year. Congratulations to our pupils on all the successes. A huge thank you to parents for taking your children to Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen on a Saturday, and thank you to all the staff for their hard work preparing the pupils for the Eisteddfod. The Eisteddfod is an important part of the school's calendar, and it is a privilege to  support the event! It truly was a clean sweep for Ysgol Llanllechid.

Year 3 and 6 have been busy developing their cycling skills on the school yard, and the older children have been learning to ride on the main road. Well done and take care!

There was an open afternoon as the school opened its doors to the community. It was great to welcome everyone, especially Mr Arwyn Oliver, the former headmaster. There was an exhibition set up in the school hall, and an of opportunity for everyone to have a look through old photos and log books etc., before spending time visiting the children in their classes. The video produced, which included some of our former teachers, will be set up on our website soon. Thank you to everyone who came over to visit us; it was great to see you all!
