-Let's have a look at WiCiNi let's

-look for an answer, off we go.

-What's here, I hear you ask,

-to sing about in TiPiNi?

-Porthmadog is a seaside town.

-It has a harbour full of boats.

-A long time ago, ships set sail from

-the harbour transporting slate.

-The slate went from North Wales

-quarries all over the world.

-The history is in the museum.

-At the mouth of the harbour,

-there is an interesting island.

-The island is called Cei Ballast.

-All sorts of different

-plants and trees grow there.

-Who's going

-to sing and dance with us?

-Hello, I'm Celt.

-I'm Ianto!

-I'm Ianto!

-

-I'm Daniel.

-I'm Roxy.

-I'm Roxy.

-

-I'm Tesni.

-I'm Nancy.

-I'm Nancy.

-

-I'm Madison.

-I'm telling the story.

-Off we go!

-Hello!

-Hello.

-Are you OK?

-Are you OK?

-

-Yes.

-How about we start our day

-with a song?

-Off we go then.

-# Number one, dance freely

-# Dancing freely

-# Number two, door is closed

-# The door is closed

-# Number three, doing the flea

-# Doing the flea

-# Number four, be a bird

-# Be a bird

-This is Cei Ballast.

-It was created when the slate boats

-came back empty.

-The sailors threw the ballast out

-as they came in to the harbour.

-Ballast is what you call soil or

-any substance used to weigh down...

-..an empty ship so it's

-the same weight as when it was full.

-Cei Ballast sounds like

-a very interesting place.

-Do you know how it came about?

-A long time ago, they used rocks

-to weigh down ships on the sea.

-When they got back

-and went past Cei Ballast...

-..they'd throw soil on the sand.

-Seeds were thrown there.

-The trees grew amongst

-all the different rocks.

-Foreign trees and plants

-grew from there.

-I wonder if we can show

-how the island grew?

-We have water in the tank.

-That represents the sea.

-It's not very deep.

-These stones represent

-the ballast that's thrown.

-The ballast level rises and

-eventually...

-..it breaks the water level

-and creates land.

-Cei Ballast Island!

-What do you imagine

-is on the island behind us?

-Seeds from foreign countries.

-Anything else?

-Fast fish and some rocks.

-There must be a lot of birds

-on the island.

-There aren't many houses there.

-It's perfect for birds.

-Yes, it is.

-Wild animals?

-Wild animals, maybe.

-I hope there's no lions.

-# Drifting on the water

-# On a boat in Pen Cei Harbour

-# Off dry land near Porthmadog

-# Years ago

-# They went far across the Atlantic

-from Porthmadog to America

-# Back to the harbour we go

-# There'll be an adventure there

-Kizzy and Kai asked us

-to meet them at the museum.

-Porthmadog's Maritime Museum.

-The history of the harbour

-and ships is here.

-It's a long history.

-Do you know what these are?

-Those might be the ones who've

-made money. There's a sign on them.

-Yes. Maybe they're medals.

-What does it say here?

-"A silver medal presented

-to W.E. Morris the harbourmaster."

-My grandfather is the harbourmaster.

-What does he do?

-When a ship breaks he fixes them.

-There's a lot of hard work to do.

-He helps people getting

-in and out of the harbour.

-He must be busy.

-He must be busy.

-

-Sometimes he tells people off.

-What's Taid's name?

-What's Taid's name?

-

-Malcolm.

-A long time ago,

-slate was quarried in North Wales.

-The quarries were in places like

-Blaenau Ffestiniog.

-People use slate to make roofs.

-Slates were transported all over

-the world on ships from Porthmadog.

-Porthmadog was very famous.

-The slate would start off

-in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

-And then they'd come

-from Blaenau to the harbour.

-From there, they'd travel

-all over the world.

-I think the work

-on the boats was hard.

-This is the food

-the sailors would have eaten.

-Biscuits and other things.

-They're hard.

-There's a ship here.

-This is a hat.

-The captain controls the ship.

-Kai has learned everything about

-the historic work of the harbour.

-He's learned it at the museum.

-He's learned about building

-and fixing boats...

-..and loading and unloading them...

-..and how the sailors lived

-on the sea.

-# Thank you, friends, very much

-# For the warm welcome we received

-# There's nothing like new friends

-# Seeing each other now and then

-# But when we are apart

-# Remember us in song and dance #

-There's nothing

-like new friends like you.

-I think Kizzy and Kai

-loved Porthmadog.

-It's time to say goodbye for now.

-Tomorrow is a big day.

-We're going to sing and dance

-at TiPiNi.

-TiPiNi has stopped in Porthmadog

-on its journey around Wales.

-Porthmadog is a seaside town.

-A long time ago, huge ships headed

-all over the world from here.

-Every ship carried a load of slates.

-When the ships returned, they

-were filled with soil or ballast.

-The ballast created an island

-at the entrance to the harbour.

-Where are Kizzy and Kai?

-Where are Kizzy and Kai?

-has to sing to wake him up?

-Maybe they're changing.

-Kizzy likes to sing

-and Kai likes to do movements.
