Our Visit to St Fagans

Our class visited ‘Bryn Eryr’ an Iron Age farmstead at St Fagans.
We found out lots about the everyday life of the Celts in Wales. We learned about the different materials needed to build a Celtic roundhouse. Some of the class were chosen to hold materials such as straw, copper, clay and flint.
Next we all went inside to discover how Celtic people cooked, made bread and made clothes. Then we made our own bracelets out of ‘wool’ and we were able to try wheat grinding.
Outside the roundhouse we were allowed to train to become Celtic warriors by throwing spears. We liked this bit the best!
A messy, muddy and enjoyable time was had by all!
