0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Miss Olwen Williams - wasn't just the headmistress...
0:14:40 > 0:14:46- ..but was linked with nationalism - and was friends with Saunders Lewis.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38- ..not in terms of percentages - as we look to Caernarfon for that...

0:15:42 > 0:15:48- The residents spoke their own - version of the Welsh language...
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- ..and used different Welsh terms - for the market, trees and birds.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- The relationship between the - teachers, parents and pupils...
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- ..was both permanent and strong.

0:16:42 > 0:16:49- How could someone who grew up - in a small house in Pwll...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- ..go on to study English - in Cambridge?
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- It's because of Ysgol Dewi Sant and - its high standards in everything.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- Ysgol Dewi Sant is an example of - a school with dedicated parents.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It was easy to say - that it would fail.
0:17:06 > 0:17:13- These parents - weren't wealthy or professionals...
0:17:13 > 0:17:19- ..but they had this vision to have - something new for their children.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- We're standing in Cardiff that saw - Welsh primary schools from 1949...
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- ..at Ninian Park Primary School - with nine pupils.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- It has flourished and there are - now schools all over the city...
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- ..with hundreds of pupils - learning Welsh.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Where did it all start?
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- It was an experiment by Ysgol Dewi - Sant to spread the Welsh language.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- It planted the seed - that would flower and flourish...
0:17:51 > 0:17:57- ..forming generations - who enjoyed the Welsh language.
0:17:57 > 0:18:04- It would be an essential part - of their lives as adults.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Happy birthday to Ysgol Dewi Sant.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Bethesda is our next stop today.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- A group of locals - have produced a brand-new beer.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- The beer is called Cwrw Ogwen.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Gerallt went to sample it - and wish the venture all the best.
0:18:47 > 0:18:54- Parry Chemist was a pharmacy - at 5 Ogwen Terrace in Bethesda.
0:18:54 > 0:19:01- However, these friends have swapped - the pill bottles for beer bottles...
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- ..as their first brew - is ready to be sampled.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Why did you decide to establish - a brewery in the Ogwen Valley?
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- There used to be a brewing tradition - at the King's Head, 100 years ago.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- They brewed their own traditional - beer on Bethesda's high street.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- We decided to just go for it - and we hope to start employing soon.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- In the future, we hope to expand and - take over a company like Heineken!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Until last summer, - I was a chemistry teacher.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- I joined the venture - as I have a chemistry background.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- I'm responsible for all the - scientific aspects of brewing.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- I also order the ingredients - that are needed to make beer.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58- These hops are a vital part - as they give beer its bitter taste.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- It's wonderful to be here - and contribute to the community.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15- We're transferring hot water - to sprinkle over the barley.
0:20:17 > 0:20:24- The hot water will filter - down through the barley...
0:20:24 > 0:20:30- ..to raise the sugar - and goodness from the barley.
0:20:30 > 0:20:37- We'll then rapidly cool the barley - and move it into the fermenter.
0:20:38 > 0:20:44- That's where the beer will ferment - until it's ready to be barrelled.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- The first variety that we've - brewed in Bethesda is Cwrw Caradog.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25- I got a lot of good advice.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- The best advice was from my husband.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- He was the same age as me - and having his first child.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- He told me not to listen to anyone.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- I was told to leave her - fall back to sleep...
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- ..but she'd never - fall back to sleep.
0:25:17 > 0:25:24- Did you ever refer - to websites and books?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- You were obviously going - to look at a few of them.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- I went online quite a few times.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- There were lots of - different people online...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- ..who had plenty of advice to share.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- Whereas a book only has the advice - of one or two individuals.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- There's only one opinion and it - felt like they were preaching.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- But what if it didn't work - and what other options did I have.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- There were many contributors online - who offered other options.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Searching online - was a great help for me.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- But we really enjoyed.
0:26:31 > 0:26:38- Friends or people online can advise - you about taking babies on a plane.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- It's nice to give someone - advice on it.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30- This engineering competition - entailed hard work and guidelines.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- They have to address experts, - produce a body of work...
0:42:35 > 0:42:40- ..and create a team identity, - so it involves a lot of work.
0:42:41 > 0:42:49- First, we appointed roles so that - everyone knew what they were doing.
0:42:49 > 0:42:58- We drew many sketches to find out - what works and what is the fastest.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- How did you race the car?
0:43:05 > 0:43:12- We raced it on a 20 metre track with - a gas canister against another team.

0:43:27 > 0:43:34- In an hour, it can cover - 88 kilometres or 55 miles.

0:44:32 > 0:44:38- We turned to local businesses - for support so we could buy paint.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43- We needed money for paint, uniforms, - displays and to cover travel costs.
0:44:44 > 0:44:49- It's been amazing and I don't think - any of us expected to get this far.

0:45:18 > 0:45:23- ..and the falcon - is one of the fastest fliers.
0:45:24 > 0:45:29- We incorporated the wing-shape - of the falcon into the car...
0:45:29 > 0:45:34- ..and thought of a slick and simple - title and we came up with force.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- There's a lot of work ahead of you - before travelling to Malaysia.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- Yes, there's a great deal of work.
