Hello all

Dylan and I have had a ball in the last ten days! We think we are all on to some very exciting new ways of getting children/young people to engage with these extraordinary places. What we are all doing is, in effect, story telling, and as we all know, these magical sites have extraordinary stories...

Roger Young and James Betts from Kudlian Software (who have developed the wonderful I Can Animate) visited Llangaffo school on Wednesday. Over coffee afterwards in The Bull, Llangefni, they expressed their admiration for what we are achieving together. They learnt loads about their own product by coming to Anglesey and described it all as cutting edge in terms of educational process.

So, hopefully you are all feeling proud of what has been achieved, as well as inspired and excited about what is to come...

Once again, DON'T burden yourselves with a (non-existent) sense of everyone else's expectation - enjoy, explore, don't be afraid to push buttons and experiment and the results will come. 

Judging by the children's response, you won't be short of ideas (or technical know-how!)

Really looking forward to seeing the results of your creative experiments!

Sean

My highlights so far;

Spotting Bronze Age hammerstones on Parys Mountain

Wild garlic oatcakes at Din Lligwy (and finding the Barclodiad y Gawres otter is now stuffed and residing at Moelfre school!)

Arthur, King of the Britons (aka Dylan) getting lost at Llyn Cerrig Bach and appearing majestically on the crag top, brandishing Excalibur, to find that his 'subjects' were in fact standing beneath another crag some distance away....

Trance drumming in Barclodiad y Gawres - watching the Yr 4 boys and girls drifting away with their ancestors! We need another session like this so that the Chief Inspector of Monuments can join in...

And of course, looking forward to what Bryn Celli Ddu will bring...
