Enterprising, creative contributors who are ready to play a full part in life and work.
We enjoy looking after chickens and our Wyau San Sior egg enterprise has even won Welsh Government 'Best Primary Enterprise Award' in the past.
Currently we are the only school in Wales registered to sell eggs to retail establishments.
BBC Countryfile have now visited the school twice to film.
Children regularly collect the eggs and activities are planned to ensure learning extends across the curriculum.
Whether it's testing the strength of eggs, measuring the decibel loudness of the cockerel or simply making cakes, the school egg enterprise is at the heart of our school's curriculum.
Mrs Jones made sure that the previous evening's BBQ wasn't wasted......... and the children studied the meteor that had 'apparently' crashed onto the playground.
Community Support Officers cordoned the area off and a scientist enlisted to explain what had happened. Children went on to write reports and used their measuring skills to measure marks left on the playground and weigh the meteor
The school has an extensive menagerie and the children are responsible for caring for the creatures. Children have researched many of the animals and offer workshops to visiting schools on conservation and adaptation.

The children also use the creatures for creative writing sessions and as part of the Lead Creative School Project have made greetings cards which are available for sale from the school and from local outlets.
The children speak with confidence when talking about the school animals and we feel this is an excellent stimulus for developing creativity while at the same time developing an awe for the world around us
Using Nature to inspire Creativity. We used Cyanotype art, using what we could find around the school and at Pensychnant Nature Reserve and created cool cards.
Our designs were then used to make greetings cards. The children have visited a few shops to sell the cards and used their numeracy skills to calculate profits (Year 2 children).
These youngsters really are Apprentices of the future.
The cards are available to buy from the school as well as from many places including Llandudno Tourist Cenre.
