@LondonMudlark Thank you for your help. He’s put it in his museum at home…

@LondonMudlark Our budding 4 year old archaeologist found these at Loggerheads, N. Wales. They were located on the riverbed near one of the mine entrances. Any ideas what they could be pls? Two theories- a)there was a rise in tourism in 1900-1930s or b) 19th century link. Thanks!

Love this animated poem from my Welsh (Plural) co-editor @Hananiscreative, inspired by the story of Blodeuwedd from The Mabanogi.

@LondonMudlark Many thanks for getting back to me. Really interesting! My little boy just announced it’s treasure.

@EnglishWales @Team_English1 I’m on the hunt for expository writing resources for a KS4 group who will need plenty of examples and scaffolding to build confidence. It is for Unit 2 WJEC English Language exam. I would be grateful if anyone has anything I could adapt! Thank you.

@shfrahman @EnglishWales @AneelaParveen88 @MrJonesEnglish @Team_English1 There are a lot in here but something that stands out is the idea it was fought on all fronts- land, air and sea. Another prominent poet in the collection is the Welsh poet, Alun Lewis.
