0:01:42 > 0:01:46- It's the same all the way around.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- It's a little bit scratchy - around the neck...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- ..but other than that it's OK.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- ..we wear a white T-shirt...

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- I'm going to Parys mountain now.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Parys mountain on Anglesey - is an unusual place.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- It was the site - of a copper mine years ago.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- The exposed holes make it - look like the surface of the moon.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Taid and I come here often.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- When I was a baby, - Taid brought me here in a pram.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- I think this place is cold.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14- But it's exciting to come here - and see how people lived.
0:03:14 > 0:03:21- Years ago, many people - came here to dig for copper...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- ..and made money from it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Copper is a metal.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- The metal comes from the stones.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- You can see the copper in the stone.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- It's a pretty colour.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- How many years ago did they - mine here? It was a long time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- More than 200 years ago?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Yes, that's right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Men were lowered down on ropes...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- ..and worked hard here...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- ..for very little money.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- The only people who made money - were the people who owned the mine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- I live very far from here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- About 10 minutes away.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Or maybe 20.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Why are there tyres down there?- - Years ago...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- ..about 10 years ago, - this was full of water.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Water as far as the eye could see.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- People brought their rubbish here.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Then they decided - to drain the water.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- They drained it - and took all the water away.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Do you want to come down now?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- The wind was cold - on top of there, wasn't it?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- I don't think - there's anywhere like this in Wales.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Taid comes to - pick me up from school every day.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Every Monday - and sometimes on Tuesdays...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- ..Taid takes me to dance practice.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- We call Taid's car Taid's taxi.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- First we listen to the music...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- ..to see what it's like.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Then Diana teaches us - to dance in time to the music.
