Year 3 visit to Castell Henllys

Celtic designs painted on their faces ready for battle. The children had a very exciting day. They had to pass the large stone that took them back in time to the Iron Age Celts. They were then greeted by the cries of the tribe as they climbed the hill to the Celtic village. They spent time practising their skills in weaving hazel branches into baskets and walls, throwing on the 'daub', grinding flour and making dough. Of course there was time for a lovely picnic in the sunshine.
