This blog has been created to record the Cadw Songs From Stones education project, and as a place for participating schools to share progress, communicate with and support each other.
In August 2009, Sean Harris worked in a converted grain silo temporarily located inside one of the towers in Beaumaris Castle, to create an animated film - Songs From Stones - commissioned by Cadw and inspired by 5 of Anglesey's prehistoric sites - Barclodiad y Gawres, Bryn Celli Ddu, Din Lligwy, Llyn Cerrig Bach, & Parys Mountain. More information about the original film and project can be found here.
This animation project involves classes from 5 Anglesey primary schools, and the outcome of the project is that each of the 5 participating schools produces a short animation inspired by the site they visit as part of the project.
What a wonderful project and from the information posted on the blog I am sure the students will be having a great time with this.
