0:02:58 > 0:03:02- They have come to show - how they built the cars...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- ..and their prowess as engineers.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- But at the start, the brakes didn't - work and we needed a new tyre.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- How is the car?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- What is this car called?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- ..from Grwp Llandrillo Menai...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- ..as did a few schools - on the island.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- We built the car in two parts, - mechanically and electronically.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- First of all, - we had the frame already welded.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- But it didn't have any bodywork.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- We bought big sheets of aluminium.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- A lot of cutting and folding had - to be done to fit it to the car.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- The electronics are all behind me, - under a metal panel.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- The motor is powered - by two batteries of 12V each.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- We found out a week ago...
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- ..that we had to change the nose - from aluminium to 200mm of foam.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- It's now more aerodynamic - and safer if we were to crash.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- We are competing at - the Anglesey Circuit on Thursday.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- It's not a first-over-the-line race.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- We all receive - a new set of batteries.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- There are two ways of racing.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- You can either go flat out - and run out of juice quickly...
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- ..or take your time - and travel as far as you can.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- The crews now face - an hour and half of racing.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- After hearing what they - had to say at Ysgol Bodedern...
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- ..I remember the fable - of the Tortoise and the Hare.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Ian Rees, there is more - to this event than racing cars.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- First of all, it's about fun.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I would love to race these cars - but I don't think I would fit!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- I'll jump into the trailer - back there!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- It's their big moment.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Yes, I hope they enjoy it - and take an interest in engineering.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Many Welsh speakers in London...

0:16:45 > 0:16:50- Welsh families living outside Wales - who want Welsh speaking children...
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- ..should immerse themselves - in the language.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Therefore, it makes sense - to employ a Welsh speaking nanny.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- Our eldest child was looked after - by an English speaking childminder.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- Without a Welsh medium education - I don't think she'd speak Welsh.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- We employed a Welsh nanny for my - second child whilst I went to work.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- They wouldn't speak Welsh at all - as my husband is English speaking.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30- It's a great time to be part of - the London-Welsh younger generation.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- My husband thinks we socialize - more in Welsh than in English.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- It's true as the London-Welsh Centre - plays an integral role in our lives.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- They speak English to their father - and Welsh to me and their mother.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- They flit naturally - between both languages.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- They speak Welsh to friends - but can also switch to English.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- The advantages of being a nanny - includes living in a plush home...
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- ..have your own quarters, - being fed and driving a car.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- I've worked for the same family - for almost 15 years.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- The children return to Aberaeron - and make me feel part of the family.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- I'm away from my own family but - I'm glad to be part of this family.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- I knew I picked the right family - as we all got along...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- ..and enjoyed each other's company.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- But how do you find a Welsh nanny?
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- A nanny position was advertised - and the family invited me to London.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- I visited their home - and the living facilities.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- I was offered the job - and moved here in late 2000.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Their former nanny, Marged, - was chairperson of Aelwyd Llundain.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- She moved back to Cardiff - and I became the chairperson.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I took over her nanny role - and have been here for four years.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- We needed something like this.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Many of us have found a Welsh nanny - as most were raised in London...
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- ..or have moved from Wales - to work in a full time job.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- We all know someone with a nanny - and the agency will be a success.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Anyone from Wales who wants to be - a nanny in Welsh or English...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- ..and wants a job in London - should come and see us.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- It's great they offer advice - to both nanny and the family.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- It's a fantastic opportunity.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- In 24 hours, - the Wales football team...

0:20:31 > 0:20:36- Gareth Bale hasn't made any personal - plans until after the final.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Bale and the lads - are already heroes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- To celebrate the team's - success...
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- ..the popular artist, Meirion Jones - has portrayed Bale on canvas.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- A series of accidents - is responsible for these pictures.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Someone suggests something to one - person and someone else acts on it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Here are the results behind me.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- It's a celebration of the national - football side's success.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- The first picture highlights - the 'Diolch' t-shirts...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- ..which convey a lot more - than just the word itself.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- I've tried to capture the moment - when Wales qualified for Euro 2016.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- The picture of Gareth Bale behind me - is the second in the series.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- I wanted to paint - a dramatic picture...
