150th anniversary celebrations at Ysgol Llys Hywel, Whitland
'It has been a joy to see pupils dress up for various themed days throughout the year, but this particular occasion was especially meaningful,' said a spokesperson for Ysgol Llys Hywel.
'Both pupils and staff made a wonderful effort to dress in Victorian clothing, reflecting the era in which the school was built.'
The school, named after the Welsh king and law-maker, Hywel Dda, has around 150 pupils aged from four to 11.
In addition to the historic main school building, it also has a modern school hall and additional classrooms.

The school is now making an appeal for old photographs and memorabilia and can be contacted on admin@llyshywel.ysgolccc.cymru
The spokesperson added: 'As part of the celebration, pupils explored what life was like all those years ago and deepened their understanding of history through engaging activities. The day included a special picnic lunch, adding to the celebratory atmosphere."
"Throughout the day, pupils have developed a wide range of skills including being knowledgeable about their culture and community. These experiences have helped to nurture curiosity, empathy, and a sense of belonging to their local area."
The school's 150th anniversary celebrations will continue into the autumn term.
It is then hoped to host an open day for former pupils, parents, staff and members of the community to visit and see how the school building has evolved over time.
Anyone who has any old photographs or memorabilia related to the school which can be included in the open day displays, contact admin@llyshywel.ysgolccc.cymru, linked above.

Craig Y Perthi, proposed solar farm could ‘save the Gwent Levels'
"As a result, wildlife is struggling to cope with these unprecedented, drastic shifts in climate, and unpredictable, extreme weather events that are occurring at an alarming rate. Left unchecked, climate change is forecast to play a major role in a sixth mass extinction event, with 69% of wildlife species already lost since 1970 according to WWF's living planet report (2022). The climate crisis is undeniable, and a daunting prospect to both people and wildlife in and around the Gwent Levels, and beyond. "To solve this climate and ecological emergency, the Welsh government is seeking to promote a sensible policy, including promoting a transition to renewable energy, with solar playing a crucial role due to its low cost, and ability to be rapidly deployed. Figure 1: Photo taken of a bee pollinating a thistle on an operational RWE site in Warwickshire (Image: Powis Communications Ltd) "The second threat facing the Gwent Level's wildlife is undoubtedly more nuanced. Welsh farmers are struggling amidst the backdrop of a crippling cost-of-living crisis, with increased running costs from energy and fuel prices, forcing many multigenerational farms to close their doors for good. Farms have an important role to play as stewards of the land they farm, and with it the wildlife on it. Striking a balance between the production of food and the protection of wildlife has always been a somewhat challenging task. "Unfortunately, modern-day intensive farming relies on the use of pesticides and fertilisers to return viable crop yields, both of which have the potential to run off into watercourses, a key part of the Gwent Levels SSSI, and cause damage to its sensitive water-based ecosystems. Beyond this, a monocultural, arable farm provides very little opportunity for biodiversity, as it is subject to constant treatment by these same chemical fertilisers and pesticides, designed to discourage insects, a key feature of the SSSI and a key food source for birds, small mammals, amphibians and reptiles alike. "A solar farm enables the creation of a permanent, undisturbed, diverse grassland and wildflower meadow in lieu of a monocultural crop with low biodiversity value, resulting in an extensive habitat being created. For schemes like Craig Y Perthi, this is evident, with over 129 acres of dedicated wildflower meadow to be created across the site (equivalent to 81 football pitches), enhanced with food plants such as red clover and birds-foot, for the native Shrill Carder bee and other vital pollinators/invertebrates that live in the Gwent Levels. Through the cessation of the use of pesticides on-site this further benefits the shrill carder, alongside other vital insects that may use the site. "This is backed up by research, with recent studies from Lancaster University and Cambridge University/the RSPB finding that solar farms greatly enhance opportunities for pollinators such as bees and butterflies and farmland birds respectively when compared with nearby arable plots. Figure 2: What the site looks like currently from the east-side of Bishton Village versus what the site would look like should the plans be approved at year 10 of development. The creation of wildflower meadows on otherwise 'poor' and 'moderate' quality, intensively managed land will have significant wildlife benefits (Image: Powis Communications Ltd) "Beyond this, new tree and hedgerow planting creating on solar sites greatly improve the interconnectivity of habitats, and is especially important for species like bats and hedgerow birds, who utilise hedges and other linear habitats to move around. On the likes of the Craig Y Perthi proposals, over 11.3km of new hedging is proposed, with minimal removal required due to the use of existing farm gates for access. Figure 3: An operational RWE site in Leicestershire with a chamomile mix growing in the foreground between the hedge and the deer fence (Image: Powis Communications Ltd) "As discussed, the Gwent Levels faces constant pressure from intensive agriculture and a changing climate, and is experiencing decline in the current 'do-nothing' scenario, and will continue to be the case without action. The same can be said for lapwings, not an interest feature of the SSSI but an important ground nesting bird under threat. Surveys found that between 2021 to 2024 their numbers dropped by 62% in the area proposed for Craig Y Perthi development, which is symptomatic of the ongoing decline of the species in Wales under the abovementioned 'do nothing' approach. Overall lapwings have declined in the UK by 55% since 1967, mainly due to changing cropping patterns and the intensification of agriculture. "Schemes like Craig Y Perthi seek to create large, open and undisturbed areas dedicated for Lapwing breeding to try and buck this alarming trend. The proposals under consideration contain a contiguous 30 acre dedicated parcel, which will be enhanced with predator fencing, and planted with lapwing conducive cropping. "A desktop assessment commissioned by Welsh Government and ongoing monitoring of the existing Llanwern solar farm has yielded interesting results in relation to how to manage a solar farm for the benefit of local wildlife, and highlighted the need for an adaptive approach, which developers are now adopting across the board. "The monitoring also highlighted the considerable benefits to invertebrates, a key interest feature of the Gwent Levels SSSI. Furthermore, as clarified in recent hearings on the Craig Y Perthi scheme, water pollution nearby the Llanwern scheme was found not to be attributable to the existing solar farm based on the monitoring conducted on-site, debunking the claim that it was. "Therefore, for the reasons highlighted above, it is incorrect to label solar farms indiscriminately as being 'bad for wildlife' and 'a threat to the levels', when in fact, if done right, could be the key to saving them." Robin Johnson is a trained ecologist and a member of the Chartered Institute for Ecology and Environmental Management. Having worked for a number of wildlife conservation charities, he currently works for RWE on schemes such as the Craig Y Perthi, a 99.9MW solar farm proposed on mostly poor-quality farmland between the M4 and the Llanwern Steel works, and adjacent to the village of Bishton in Newport. A planning application for the scheme was submitted to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) in April 2024, had hearings in March 2025 with a decision expected in late 2025. The plans are being brought forward by Wales' largest renewable energy generator, RWE, and would generate enough affordable, renewable energy to meet the equivalent needs of around 45,374 Welsh homes per annum, saving over 3,180,000 tonnes of CO2 in the process - the equivalent of planting over 52 million trees.

Newark Castle revamp project building work under way
Ground work has begun on a multi-million pound project that has been described as a "game changer" for one of Nottinghamshire's best-known historic scheme at Newark Castle will open up the original gatehouse, restore access to parts of the surviving walls and improve accessibility across the have started to dig a hole, which will contain a new room for school groups and is hoped the project, which was originally budgeted at £5.6m but needed a £1.02m bailout in February, will be completed in late 2026. The infamous King John died at the castle in 1216, but a large part of the structure was demolished after a protracted siege in facelift has been several years in the planning, with archaeologists investigating the site before building work will also see the gatehouse being reroofed, new exhibition spaces built and improved access to the formal Victorian gardens that fill the former interior of the Clarke, project delivery manager, said: "We are creating a new room underneath the steps that will lead to the gatehouse."That room is going to be used for school visits, community events and workshops."It is going to be a real game changer to have that kind of space." It is hoped that by boosting visitor numbers to the castle, it will provide economic benefits to the wider is also being made for wildlife, with pollinator friendly flower beds and bat roosts included in the it was planned to open the site in autumn next year, Ms Clarke emphasised this was dependent on many factors."All these things can change with a project as complicated as this one."This morning we have found some archaeology, some remains of stonework and we have now got to find out what that is."It is quite possible it is medieval stonework, so we will have a little pause while we figure that out, so these kind of delays can make a difference," she said. The project is backed by funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the government's Towns Fund, and Newark and Sherwood District Cozens, deputy leader of the council, said: "This project ensures the castle remains standing strong for another 900 years while ensuring that accessibility and biodiversity are at its very heart. "We'll be able to open new spaces in the castle to the public and provide exhibitions telling of Newark's rich medieval history."Drop-in sessions with project staff are being planned for August and September, with both evening and weekend options available.
