This year's Remembrance Day was commemorated with a service conducted in the school's garden, and a 'Poppy Fly Over' with more than 200 pupils involved.

Considerable planning and preparation went into all the commemorative work, with special thanks to staff members, Gill Smith, Julie Bennett and head of history, Katherine Fish.

The memorial garden was created with the help of 60 pupils, and about 200 students from Years 7 and 8 gathered outside to form a poppy for the fly over. The spectacle was captured from above with a drone, by Follow Films.

Staff and students dedicated a significant amount of time in recent weeks to ensure that Elfed Remembers. Below, we present a selection of images captured to share with you, our Elfed community.

Ysgol Bryn Collen, Llangollen

Ken Skates MS met children from his Clwyd South constituency as they walked to school.

Ysgol Bryn Collen takes part in WOW - the walk to school challenge from Living Streets, which sees pupils record how they get to school using the interactive WOW Travel Tracker with those who walk, wheel, cycle, scoot or 'Park and Stride' to school being awarded a monthly WOW badge.

Only about 50 per cent of primary school children in Wales walk to school and Living Streets is working to help more families choose cleaner and healthier ways to travel. WOW schools typically see an increase of 43 per cent in active journeys (where pupils, walk, wheel, cycle, scoot or 'Park and Stride', where parents or carers drive children part of the way to school and continue the rest of the journey on foot) and a 59 per cent reduction in cars driving to the school gates.

In Wales, thousands of children are enjoying the benefits of walking, wheeling and cycling to school thanks to support from the Welsh Government. As part of a two-year project, Living Streets Cymru is working with 170 primary schools and 42 secondary schools to deliver its walk to school programme in Wales. The project highlights the positive impact active travel investment has on local communities.

Since beginning WOW in September, active journeys at Ysgol Bryn Collen have increased by more than 30 per cent.

Mr Skates said: "Walking and wheeling to school is one of the simplest ways for families to get the 60 minutes of exercise recommend by health experts. Programmes like WOW make such a positive difference to pupils' wellbeing and the benefits travel far - from increased confidence to finding it easier to concentrate in the classroom.

"Well done to pupils and teachers at Ysgol Bryn Collen for making such an impressive effort to travel to school in healthier, more sustainable ways."

Hannah Atkins, school coordinator for Living Streets Cymru, said: "It was a real pleasure to welcome Ken Skates MS to Ysgol Bryn Collen and for pupils to tell him how much they enjoy taking part in WOW."

"Walking or wheeling all or some of the way to school is a great way for children to feel happier and healthier and gives them the chance to spend quality time with family and friends. It also reduces congestion around the school gates and air pollution."

Lisa Howden, headteacher at Ysgol Bryn Collen, added: "We are thrilled to see our pupils embracing the WOW challenge and making the effort to travel to school in more sustainable ways. The positive impact on their wellbeing and the environment is truly remarkable.

"The school is committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment that fosters the academic, social, and personal development of its pupils.

By continuing to promote active travel and engage with initiatives like WOW, Ysgol Bryn Collen is setting an excellent example for other schools in the region and contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future for its community."
