-Hello and how are you?

-Welcome to Bore Da on 18 June.

-Between now and 10.00am...

-..Ysgol yr Hendre School

-visit Ysgol Yr Hendre School.

-Are you confused?

-Don't worry as everything

-will be made clear later.

-There's useful First Aid advice on

-helping young children in trouble.

-We remember Anne Frank

-with the siblings, Tom and Mari.

-They've just visited

-Anne Frank's home in Amsterdam.

-And we reminisce about the golden

-era of Cardiff City football club.

-There's all this and a lot more.

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da.

-We start with Nicky Roberts

-in the seaside town of Aberystwyth.

-Nicky is originally

-from the Rhondda Valley...

-..and has learnt Welsh

-within five months.

-I was eager to find out more,

-so I went to meet him.

-It's lovely to meet you, Nicky.

-You live in a wonderful place.

-Thanks for arranging the sunshine.

-Tell us about yourself.

-Tell us about yourself.

-

-I'm Nicky Roberts.

-I'm originally

-from the Rhondda Valley.

-I went to Ysgol Tonyrefail School

-when I was younger.

-Following this,

-I went to Glamorgan University.

-And I've been working

-as a technical architect.

-Why did you move to Aberystwyth?

-Why did you decide to learn Welsh?

-That's a good question.

-It happened during the Euros

-last year.

-I was staying in Paris

-with my friends.

-We had a lot of fun

-among the Welsh fans.

-I couldn't speak any Welsh

-and I felt quite embarrassed.

-I returned home

-and started to consider it.

-I decided why not and just do it.

-But if you're going to do it,

-do it properly.

-Aberystwyth is a wonderful town.

-I've been coming here on holiday

-since I was a child with my family.

-I just decided to live here.

-I can't explain it

-any better than that!

-I attend a Clwb Clonc session

-at Siop Y Pethe every Wednesday.

-Here, I'm able

-to meet other learners...

-..to use and practice the language.

-People come in and speak to us

-and I want to help others.

-My wife started learning

-at the same time as me.

-It's great learning

-with my wife and together.

-We can help each other.

-We share our experiences

-about learning the language.

-It's quite helpful as you can

-make mistakes in the house...

-..and perfect it

-before venturing out to town.

-It saves me making a fool of myself!

-What advice do you have for someone

-who wants to learn Welsh...

-..or who is learning Welsh,

-but doesn't find it as easy as you?

-My advice for other learners...

-..is to find someone else

-to practice the language with...

-..because there's only so far you

-can go when speaking it to yourself.

-It's important to find someone who

-you can practice your Welsh with.

-If you can't find anyone

-just search on the Internet.

-There's social media.

-For example,

-you can use your Welsh on Twitter.

-You'll find many people who

-also want to learn the language.

-I know a few people from Canada,

-America and Argentina...

-..and a few people

-from England and Ireland...

-..who I've got to know

-after learning Welsh.

-It's great to meet a lot of people

-who are learning the language too.

-If there's anyone

-who is watching this...

-..and thinking if he can do it

-then I can do it.

-If you think like this...

-..it can work out brilliantly

-like it did for me.

-I want to be the best speaker

-that I can be.

-I don't want to stop

-until I'm fluent.

-I'm loving life at the moment

-and enjoying the language.

-Learning Welsh within five months

-is totally amazing.

-You're an inspiration to us all.

-Thanks for the chat.

-Thanks for the chat.

-

-Thanks for talking to me.

-Thanks to Nicky.

-Learning Welsh within five months

-is a massive feat.

-Well done, Nicky.

-Now then, two schools...

-..two continents,

-but one name...

-..namely Ysgol yr Hendre.

-One of them is in Caernarfon...

-..and the other

-is in Trelew in Patagonia.

-Both schools are twinned.

-In recent days, a group from

-Ysgol yr Hendre, Patagonia...

-..have been visiting Wales.

-They were welcomed at

-Ysgol yr Hendre in Caernarfon.

-Our cameras joined the celebration.

-# A warm welcome to you here

-# Across the water and

-to Caernarfon from Patagonia #

-The hall was full to bursting

-with the choir and musical guests.

-They know how to make you feel

-welcome at Ysgol yr Hendre School.

-# The Welsh in the Andes

-should be celebrated #

-A total of 420 children

-and all the staff from the school.

-It's been an usual but busy morning

-at Ysgol yr Hendre School.

-Yes, it's been a busy morning

-but totally fantastic.

-We're celebrating the schools

-in Caernarfon and Trelew.

-# A clean heart forever singing

-# Singing through the day

-and night #

-It's been great to welcome pupils

-from Patagonia to our school.

-We've been preparing our service

-for them since before half term...

-..and have worked hard

-to try and impress them.

-They sang for us too

-which was excellent.

-# Pido un corazon feliz

-un honesto corazon #

-There are 93 children

-at the school in Trelew.

-I've met a lot of people here.

-In my family, my mother,

-grandmother and I speak Welsh.

-My great-grandfather

-and great-grandmother...

-..travelled to Patagonia

-on the Mimosa.

-Today, Ysgol yr Hendre School

-in Wales...

-..has given us a lovely welcome

-with their singing.

-We've been to the camps in

-Llangrannog, Cardiff and Glan-llyn.

-We also went to the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-It wasn't like the Eisteddfod

-we have in Patagonia...

-..because it's much bigger,

-has a fair and it's great.

-The schools were united by song

-and art thanks to some embroidery.

-Cefyn Burgess wanted something

-that reflected Patagonia and Wales.

-At Ysgol yr Hendre School, we've

-done some art with Cefyn Burgess.

-We wanted to make a quilt

-just like the school in Patagonia.

-This is a tea cosy for a teapot.

-Teapots are important for us

-to drink tea as it's really nice!

-# My name is Ben Rhys,

-a man and a collier

-# And a pure Welshman

-under my dirty shell #

-I'm glad that the pupils

-of Ysgol yr Hendre in Patagonia...

-..have come to play on the yard

-with the pupils of Caernarfon.

-It was something new for me

-and the school...

-..and we heard how schools around

-the world speak the same language.

-# Maldwyn and Trelew #

-I'm sure the schools of Caernarfon

-and Trelew will look back on this...

-..as being successful and happy

-and totally unforgettable.

-# Hurry up

-and come and see us once again

-# To sing the notes with us #

-APPLAUSE

-What a great story.

-Last week was Graduate Fashion Week.

-It was a chance to celebrate new

-talents in a competitive industry.

-Huw samples the creations

-from one of our universities.

-It's a very important week

-for fashion graduates...

-..as it's British Graduate

-Fashion Week.

-This means that a lot of

-fashion students are in London...

-..and the first fashion shows

-have gotten underway.

-Calibre is the first show

-by the University of South Wales.

-I'm joined by Lowri Thomas

-who is graduating tonight.

-This must be an important moment

-in your career.

-Yes, definitely.

-Where are you from

-and what's your background?

-I'm from Treorchy in the Rhondda.

-I loved Art at school and came

-to university to study fashion.

-Tell us about your collection.

-It's all based on dance

-and movement.

-They're clothes that move with you.

-Something tells me that Erin

-is one of the models.

-Mammy must be very proud!

-Yes, I'm very proud of her

-because she's been very ambitious.

-She's worked incredibly hard

-and is very creative.

-Her portfolio

-is a combination of art and dance.

-How much of the collection

-have you seen?

-I've only seen a few photographs

-on Facebook.

-Hasn't she been sewing at home?

-Hasn't she been sewing at home?

-

-No, she did it all at the ATRiuM.

-Erin Lawler joins me and she agreed

-to stand in last-minute to model.

-You're not a model but a regular

-performer so how did you get here?

-I used to have ballet classes

-with my friend.

-I was free so agreed to do it.

-Have you had many rehearsals?

-We've rehearsed with and without

-the heels and it's been great.

-It's an exciting night.

-It's the largest and most exciting

-event in the career of the students.

-Spirits are high, the passion's

-there and everyone's excited.

-I'm from Mold but moved to Cardiff

-to stay in a big city in Wales.

-I've been wanting to do

-fashion design for years...

-..and there's nothing better

-than studying in Cardiff.

-You've organized the evening

-and it's a lot of work.

-Yes, but it's been worth it.

-Everyone is here and it's a great

-way to end the three years.

-You do a lot of modelling in Wales,

-Nia.

-How does modelling for graduates

-differ from the commercial field?

-It's important to support graduates.

-The clothes are more interesting

-than the high street collections.

-It's important to support graduates

-and promote fashion in Wales.

-We need to work together...

-..and promote

-the fashion industry in Wales.

-You both organized the show so must

-be delighted with the outcome.

-Yes, we're so happy because

-the evening has been amazing.

-Gemma organized the show and showed

-a collection so you must be tired.

-I'm tired but it's worth it as

-we worked hard and pulled it off.

-You must be shattered, Lowri.

-You must be shattered, Lowri.

-

-Yes, but it's all been great.

-What did you think of the clothes

-on the models?

-They looked great, I'm really happy

-but I want to go home to bed!

-I think the fan club is happy too.

-Yes, it was excellent and everyone

-has done really well tonight.

-I'm going to buy something to wear

-at the weekend.

-We look forward to seeing that!

-What a great night.

-Congratulations

-to everyone who took part.

-That's it for part one.

-In the second part...

-..we discover

-the benefits of seaweed.

-We hear about the most

-famous diary in the world.

-It's The Diary of Anne Frank.

-And Owain Gwynedd

-samples the golden era...

-..of Cardiff City football club.

-Don't go far!

-.

-Welcome back on Father's Day.

-I hope you're enjoying your morning.

-Have you ever tried laverbread

-or seaweed?

-Seaweed is good for us.

-Here's Daf Wyn to explain further.

-When I walk along the beach

-or amongst the rocks...

-..I often ignore the seaweed or try

-to avoid it so that I don't fall...

-..but after hearing

-some exciting news...

-..I might have to pay

-this special algae more attention!

-There isn't a lot of wildlife

-that eats seaweed.

-We eat it and the Japanese

-specialize in seafood and seaweed.

-The laminaria is seaweed that breaks

-up into ribbons and is edible.

-Wales is famous for its laverbread.

-Welsh laverbread, made from

-the laver variety of seaweed...

-..has been awarded

-EU protected food status.

-It joins Welsh lamb, Halen Mon salt

-and many other Welsh delicacies.

-A lot of the varieties are edible.

-The Irish use something called

-carrageen to make a blancmange.

-It's important to remember

-that it should be processed...

-..and it can't be eaten immediately

-like you can with blackberries.

-When did people start collecting and

-preparing seaweed for consumption?

-Welsh laverbread stems back

-200 years and to Pembrokeshire.

-Laver was collected

-and dried on rooftops...

-..before selling it

-to people in Swansea.

-In the city, it was cooked

-and ground into a paste...

-..and occasionally mixed with oats

-to produce laverbread.

-The most famous place to find it

-is in the market.

-This is the result that

-is famously sold at Swansea Market.

-The stalls are in the centre and I'm

-told that it's as popular as ever!

-And I'm a fan.

-Now everybody wants it either

-cold on toast...

-..or it's nice fried in bacon fat

-or warmed in the microwave.

-People do eat it cold and

-holidaymakers make a beeline for it.

-You either love it or you hate it,

-but me, I love it!

-It's very nutritious and full

-of iron, fibre, iodine and zinc.

-It's a true superfood.

-It's good for inner health but it's

-also beneficial to our exterior.

-It nourishes the skin

-but is also full of moisture...

-..and helps to keep the skin smooth.

-It's very fashionable to have a

-body wrap to give your body a detox.

-It's great for cellulite that women

-hate so it's seaweed all the way!

-As someone who has sampled

-laverbread many years ago...

-..it isn't to everyone's taste!

-One of our most famous diaries

-is The Diary of Anne Frank.

-The story is about a young girl

-who is hiding from the Nazis...

-..in an Amsterdam attic

-during the Second World War.

-Every year on her birthday

-which is 12 June...

-..the world remembers Anne Frank.

-Let's hear some of her story by

-siblings who have visited her home.

-Anne Frank was a young girl

-during the Second World War...

-..who had to hide, because

-the Nazis didn't like the Jews.

-She lived in Amsterdam and she wrote

-a diary while she was in hiding.

-After the War, her father found it

-and made it in to a book.

-We've been learning about Anne Frank

-and the Second World War in school.

-Our Christmas gift was a trip to

-Amsterdam and we purchased the book.

-I read the book

-while we were in Amsterdam.

-We visited the museum

-where Anne Frank was hiding.

-It was sad to hear about the two

-families hiding here for so long.

-It was a fantastic experience,

-but sad to see the location.

-When you read the book,

-it's just in your imagination...

-..but when you visit the museum

-you remember it's a true story.

-When we walked in, there was

-a new section to the museum...

-..and it was all about what happened

-to Anne at the concentration camps.

-We saw her number, photographs and

-some things we did not want to see.

-The museum is multilingual.

-It also includes the Welsh language.

-'I gazed at the candle flame

-and felt happy and peaceful.'

-'It's like my grandmother

-is watching over me...

-'..protecting me and making

-me feel happy once again.'

-For such a young girl,

-she was a great writer.

-In the book, she tells us that

-she wanted to become an author.

-She was clever and a great writer.

-It's an interesting perspective

-of a young girl...

-..who lived during

-the Second World War.

-I think she felt claustrophobic

-as she wanted to look outside.

-Anne was a heroine.

-She showed us how she had

-to live during the war...

-..and how difficult life was,

-compared to how life is today.

-She lived in hiding for two years.

-It's important that we remember.

-Our thanks to Tom and Mari.

-Our next stop is

-the Old Library in Cardiff...

-..to hear about the golden era

-of Cardiff City football club.

-Enjoy watching and reminiscing.

-On St George's Day in 1927...

-..Cardiff City football club won the

-FA Cup after beating Arsenal by 1-0.

-It's one of the most famous cups

-in the world of football.

-Cardiff is still the only team

-outside England to lift the cup.

-To mark the 90th anniversary

-of this achievement...

-..the Old Library has an exhibition

-called From Wembley to Wales.

-The 1927 final

-is the club's highlight.

-People still talk about it but none

-of the crowd at Wembley are alive.

-Why is it so important?

-Cardiff had lost out

-in the semi-finals in 1925.

-Fred Keenor's team was important

-and many had fought in World War I.

-Fred was injured

-in the Battle of the Somme...

-..but played and captained Wales in

-that final with shrapnel in his leg!

-People admire this team.

-It wasn't just a victory for Cardiff

-but for the whole of Wales.

-People from North Wales travelled

-to Wembley to join the Cardiff fans.

-The date of 23 April 1927...

-..is one of the most significant

-dates in Welsh sporting history.

-Up until 1927, the trophy was

-referred to as the English Cup...

-..but when it was won by Cardiff

-and brought back to South Wales...

-..it took the name of the FA Cup and

-has retained the name for 90 years.

-The fate of that significant day was

-decided by one controversial goal.

-It was a controversial

-and messy goal.

-The Cardiff forward, Hughie Ferguson

-from Scotland kicked a simple shot.

-The Arsenal goalkeeper

-let the ball slide under his body.

-The irony is the Arsenal goalkeeper

-at the time was a proud Welshman.

-He was the Rhondda-born, Dan Lewis

-who represented Wales many times.

-There was a lot of speculation

-among Arsenal fans about that goal.

-The exhibition boasts many artefacts

-in cabinets or in digital format.

-Young fans can learn about

-the history of the Bluebirds...

-..and the names of the heroes

-of a bygone era.

-It's important to celebrate

-the team winning the FA Cup.

-It's a huge thing.

-The kit they wore 90 years ago

-is very different to today's kit.

-I'd imagine that it is quite itchy

-because of the fabric.

-It's wonderful to have an exhibition

-of this kind in Cardiff.

-There are legendary photographs

-of the nearby Greyfriars Road...

-..where 100,000 people gathered

-to welcome the team home.

-There's also photographs of people

-in Bute Park...

-..who listened to the

-radio broadcast of the game.

-It was one of the first live

-football matches on the radio.

-At that time, people didn't know

-how to commentate.

-The Radio Times published a grid...

-..and commentators used that grid to

-refer to the placement of the ball.

-The replacement of the ball coined

-the phrase of back to square one.

-The exhibition has many pieces but

-one gem is kept under lock and key.

-I had a very special birthday and

-my wife gave me a piece of paper.

-It was an original program

-from 1927...

-..and it reduced me to tears.

-On the inside

-in copperplate script...

-..it says Cardiff City 1, Arsenal 0.

-It's fantastic to hold a piece

-of Wales and Cardiff's history.

-It has an advert for cigarettes

-saying "your coach won't mind!"

-It suggests that full-strength

-Capstan cigarettes are healthy!

-There's also a photograph

-of the King.

-It's amazing how times have changed

-but it's a little piece of history.

-Fred Keenor and his team

-were remarkable.

-It's time for another break

-but in the next part of Bore Da...

-..we hear about this year's most

-popular toy - the fidget spinner.

-The fidget spinner.

-Children, parents and teachers

-know all about these.

-It's the best-selling toy of 2017.

-And Huw is here with

-his rainy day fashion tips.

-I'll see you shortly.

-.

-Welcome back.

-We head over to the fashion corner.

-Huw looks at rainy day fashion.

-Enjoy.

-Today, we're looking

-at these anoraks...

-..that are great for rainy days

-and for the cold weather.

-There are anoraks

-all over the high street.

-You don't have to spend a fortune.

-These coats are a cross

-between a mac and pac-a-mac.

-We start with the mac

-from Marks and Spencer.

-This is a great design as it's

-very compact and fits into a bag.

-You can fit the coat in a tote bag.

-They're fantastic for keeping

-in a handbag or in the car.

-Nest is wearing white

-which matches nearly everything.

-This coat works well

-with Nest's outfit.

-There's only downfall

-with a coat of this kind.

-If you get hot or a bit sweaty...

-..or you're at the age when

-you start feeling hot and cold...

-You're talking about hot flushes!

-If you have hot flushes, these nylon

-coats will make you hot and sweaty!

-Read the labels.

-Look out for materials

-that will allow the skin to breathe.

-Can you pop this coat on a hanger,

-Sian?

-I've got this next coat

-which is quite surgical!

-Let's put this on

-for you to see how great it looks.

-It's similar

-to an Eisteddfod poncho!

-It is similar but this is

-more luxurious than a poncho.

-Before I discuss this coat...

-..there's a lot of see-through coats

-on the high street.

-It means you have to be cautious

-that they match your outfit.

-There are lots of coloured coats.

-However, it's worth buying

-a white or transparent coat...

-..because you don't have to worry

-about matching the clothes beneath.

-It's important to note

-that this jacket is 100% waterproof.

-You can sometimes spend 79.99 for

-a coat that's only water resistant.

-But this coat will do a better job

-as it's waterproof.

-Make sure that you buy a coat

-with covered zips.

-This coat has an open zip design...

-..which means that it will allow

-water to seep through.

-I like the coat.

-It looks really stylish.

-Sian has an ancient one

-in her wardrobe!

-I'm not surprised.

-If you want a lighter coat, you

-can opt for a slightly cheaper one.

-This one is only 12.

-It's quite heavy for the price.

-There are some pretty colours

-in this slightly longer coat.

-This will hide your bottom.

-You need to careful

-with lots of the shorter coats.

-The shorter length means that the

-water droplets run down the coat...

-..and you get a very wet bottom.

-Our viewers with flat bottoms

-don't have to worry about this.

-I suffer from this

-and so does Sian!

-There's nothing worse!

-It's important to look

-at the labels on these coats.

-We've just grabbed a selection

-of coats that cost around 20.

-Don't waste money on a coat that

-leaves you soaked after minutes.

-We have to move on to the next coat.

-I love the design of the coat

-but I've found a flaw.

-You could be going

-somewhere tropical on your holiday.

-These are very cool.

-You may think that these are great

-for the rain in tropical climates.

-However,

-these coats will cause problems.

-If it's very warm but damp, there

-will be condensation everywhere.

-You'll be steaming!

-If you're going on holiday...

-..you may intend on lounging

-by the pool in the morning.

-However, if you take this coat

-out on excursions...

-..any remaining suncream will make

-you feel like a roasting turkey!

-On that note, thank you.

-Thank you, Huw.

-In recent weeks...

-..a new toy called fidget spinner

-has hit our shops.

-They toys are a sell-out.

-But Daf Wyn has managed

-to get his hands on one!

-He needed some help with his skills.

-The children of Wales

-showed him what to do.

-The fidget spinner.

-Children, parents and teachers

-know all about these!

-It's the best-selling toy of 2017

-to date.

-Millions of these things

-have been sold in recent months.

-Shops can't fill the shelves quick

-enough with these plastic things.

-Yay!

-I know a lot of children

-who have fidget spinners.

-It's the latest craze.

-Why did you want a fidget spinner?

-Why did you want a fidget spinner?

-

-Because everyone's got one.

-They are all over the world.

-Some children can't concentrate,

-so this helps them to focus.

-I got one in England

-at the Truckfest.

-They can be multicoloured.

-It has emojis...

-..and different colours

-such as green, pink and purple.

-It's glow in the dark.

-There are smaller ones

-to suit little children.

-I like to put flowers

-in my fidget spinner.

-They make one to suit everyone.

-We can't use them in school.

-Children lose them and they get hurt

-so they have been banned.

-Some children play with them during

-lessons instead of working...

-..so Miss tells us to keep them

-in our bags until we get home.

-You can do tricks, play with them,

-swap them and lots of things.

-I can do a dab with it.

-How long does it take to learn that?

-How long does it take to learn that?

-

-Not long.

-I try to do this

-but it stops after a while.

-How do you do it?

-I think my head's too big!

-Thank you, Daf.

-My children are also fans

-of fidget spinners.

-It's time for a break

-but in the final part...

-..there's some First Aid advice

-for helping children in crisis.

-And Owain Gwynedd

-has some cleaning tips for us.

-Join us in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-How many times a year

-do you spring clean your home?

-We should clean our homes

-at least four times a year.

-It sounds a lot of work to me!

-Our own Mr Mop, Owain Gwynedd

-donned his marigolds and apron...

-..to seek some advice.

-The spring clean enables us

-to make our homes neat and tidy...

-..to get rid of items you don't want

-and make room for new items.

-But why do we do this at spring?

-There are many possible sources

-for the tradition.

-The Persian New Year or Nowruz Iran

-falls on the first day of spring.

-They go about Khooneh takouni or

-shake the house before the new year.

-The Jews have their own custom.

-They clean their homes from

-top to bottom during the Passover.

-Bread and any crumbs

-are banned from their homes.

-That was hard work so it's time

-for a well-deserving cuppa.

-I've still got to do the rest

-of the house so need a bit of help.

-I want to retain the tradition

-so have come to get a few tips...

-..from Nerys Williams who runs

-the cleaning company, Taclus.

-Hello, Nerys. How are you?

-Hello, Nerys. How are you?

-

-I'm good, thank you.

-I think of spring cleaning taking

-place once a year at spring...

-..but how often do you think people

-should clean their homes?

-I'd advise people to take it all out

-and clean at least every six months.

-I do it every week

-but I don't think I'm normal...

-..but I'd recommend a really

-good deep clean every six months.

-I prefer to start at the top

-and work your way down.

-Start upstairs

-and work your way down.

-If you think that's too much,

-you could do it room by room.

-Can you show me some

-spring cleaning tips today?

-I'd love to help but you need to

-change into suitable clothes first!

-Are you ready?

-Are you ready?

-

-Yes, and I've got just the thing.

-I'm ready!

-A good tip is to have a cotton wool

-ball with some essential oil.

-Eight drops should be enough.

-Suck it up the hoover and use it

-and the house will smell amazing!

-Never use any liquid on photo frames

-as it will ruin them.

-A microfibre cloth is all you need.

-Remove bed clothes

-to leave a bare mattress.

-Mix baking soda with ten drops of an

-essential oil to drizzle on the bed.

-Leave it for 30 minutes,

-hoover it up and it's amazing.

-Fold clothes so that they act as

-a filing system for the children...

-..and stops them throwing things

-all over the place.

-Don't rub any pollen that's fallen

-on white clothes as it stains.

-A tiny piece of sellotape

-will get it off immediately.

-Wash your skirting boards with

-either soap flakes, baby wipes...

-..or tumble dryer sheets are lovely.

-I love the tip of placing tumble

-dryer sheets behind a radiator.

-It produces a beautiful aroma

-when the radiator is turned on.

-Thanks to Nerys for her tips

-on keeping our homes neat and tidy.

-My tip is to get Nerys to do it.

-Owain? You forgot your hat.

-Oh, yes.

-Ta-ta!

-Those were some handy tips.

-Owain also looked great

-in his attire!

-If your child or any other child

-choked on some food...

-..would you know what to do?

-Don't worry if you don't...

-..as Tristan Davies

-from Reactive First Aid...

-..has some life-saving advice.

-Child Safety Week

-addresses a lot of issues.

-When the sun is out we discuss

-heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

-Children struggle with regulating

-their body temperature...

-..in terms of warming up

-and cooling down.

-We also look at choking

-which also concerns parents.

-Choking is common

-among children and babies.

-Over 50% are hospitalized every week

-with choking incidents.

-Therefore, it happens quite a lot.

-Children are more likely to choke

-than us adults.

-Their airway is more narrow

-that ours.

-What type of foods

-do they tend to choke on?

-Grapes and hot dogs mainly.

-They become stuck in the airway

-because of their shape.

-Once their wedged,

-it's difficult to get them out.

-If a child starts to choke...

-..what are you able to do?

-I've got a glamorous assistant.

-Well done to Rhiannon

-for helping us out.

-First, check if they're choking.

-If they're coughing and talking...

-..they're not choking.

-It's easy to swallow something

-and it goes down the wrong way.

-It always happens in public

-and you get embarrassed.

-If you cough for a few minutes,

-it will clear.

-If they're unable to cough or talk,

-then we're in trouble.

-That vest is acting

-as someone's torso.

-We use this suit in schools

-to educate children...

-..and they love using it.

-First, try to get them to cough.

-If they can't cough,

-they are choking.

-Hold their shoulders like this.

-Hit their back five times

-between the shoulder blades.

-Use this part of the hand

-to tap the back five times.

-You need to tap quite hard.

-We want the body to shake

-so that the food comes out.

-When should you hit them like that?

-When they can't cough or talk...

-..and there's signs of struggle...

-..act immediately

-with five hard taps on the back.

-If whatever is stuck comes out

-on the first tap stop tapping.

-If five hard taps on the back

-don't work...

-..move on to abdominal thrusts

-or the Heimlich maneuver.

-It's quite simple to do.

-Refer to the section of the torso...

-..between the breastbone and navel.

-Go between the arms.

-Find the area

-where you need to thrust.

-Clasp your hands and pull inwards.

-Carry out five abdominal thrusts.

-If this doesn't work...

-..return to the back-blows

-and the abdominal thrusts.

-Repeat the process

-until the food comes out.

-If they're unconscious

-check their breathing.

-You need to be careful

-with the size of the food.

-Slice grapes in half,

-not across but down the middle.

-It reduces the surface area.

-You also mentioned the heat

-in this country and abroad.

-Children need to be careful

-in the heat of the sun.

-I mentioned earlier that children

-struggle with reducing body heat.

-They get hot a lot of the time.

-Parents make mistakes

-and I'm a parent myself.

-When a baby or toddler

-is in a pram or pushchair...

-..they cover it with a blanket to

-stop the sun from shining on them.

-But that creates

-a glasshouse effect in the pram.

-It's so important

-that you don't do this.

-It's also important

-to slap on plenty of suncream.

-In Britain, we strip off

-when we see a bit of sun.

-We want to tan our bodies.

-But people think that suncream

-stops them from having a tan...

-..but you do get a tan.

-Suncream protects our skin as our

-skin isn't used to the sun's rays.

-If we don't slap on the suncream,

-we are likely to burn our skin.

-And drink plenty of fluids.

-It's important to drink water.

-Drink sips during the day.

-Carry a bottle of water

-around with you.

-If I've got a bottle on me

-I take regular swigs from it.

-Fill children's beakers

-so they can sip all day.

-Thank you for this simple,

-but important advice.

-Thanks to Trystan

-for that very important advice.

-That's it from me today

-as another programme is over.

-I'll return next week.

-Until then,

-keep practicing your Welsh.

-It's important to try

-and have fun whilst doing it.

-A very good morning to you all.
