-Very good, Iwsyn!

-Everyone calls me Iwsyn

-but my real name is Iwan.

-Iwan Arthur Jones.

-I'm not very tall but one day

-I hope to be the goalie...

-..for the Wales team.

-I love playing football...

-..and every Saturday morning

-we play on the school field.

-Huw Plismon, Dei Charles and Eryl

-teach us and play with us.

-I'm lucky to be able to live

-somewhere as nice as Llanuwchllyn.

-It's obvious how Llanuwchllyn

-got its name.

-"Llan" means a village or area...

-..and the village

-is next to a lake.

-A village above the lake.

-The lake is called Bala Lake.

-I think this is the most beautiful

-area in Wales.

-As well as the lake, we are

-surrounded by mountains...

-..as well as trees and rivers.

-I'm not the only who thinks

-this is a beautiful area.

-People have written poetry

-and songs about it.

-# In the village

-where there is no river

-# Or a close green to Bala Lake

-# Until I finish my chapter

-# By its banks

-is where I wish to be

-# Back from my journey

-# There's nowhere

-quite like Penllyn. #

-My dog's name is Sally and I

-love taking her for a walk...

-..around the village.

-Who's your favourite team?

-Liverpool.

-Liverpool.

-

-Liverpool?

-Everybody knows each other

-in a small village.

-Everyone's very friendly here and

-nearly everyone speaks Welsh.

-She wants to go.

-She can smell the sheep

-and sheepdogs up there.

-Can't she?

-Bye, now.

-Some English people came

-to live in the shop...

-..but by now,

-they also speak Welsh.

-Hello, Iwan.

-Wine gums again?

-Wine gums again?

-

-Yes, please.

-Thank you.

-Ten pence. Thank you.

-Thank you. Ta-ra.

-You're back.

-You're back.

-

-Yes.

-Mam writes a lot.

-She's the editor of the

-local paper, Pethe Penllyn...

-..and she writes for magazines

-like Y Faner.

-Mam can also play the harp.

-She's the accompanist for the

-Merched Uwchllyn cerdd dant choir.

-I've also started to learn

-to play the harp...

-..but it's not an easy instrument

-at all.

-I have two sisters.

-Catrin is 11 years old,

-a year older than me...

-..and Lowri, my little sister,

-is seven years old.

-Dad has a garage on the outskirts

-of the village.

-He also sings

-in a cerdd dant choir.

-But Mam says that their choir

-is better.

-Sometimes when it's sunny

-and the sun is hot

-We place smooth stones

-across the river

-And in our own pool we swam.

-Iwsyn? Are you ready?

-The people of Llanuwchllyn

-love to compete...

-..and I like going

-to the small festival.

-It's like some sort

-of eisteddfod...

-..that we have four times

-every winter.

-It's a huge pleasure to welcome you

-all here tonight.

-Only people local to Llanuwchllyn

-can compete.

-The chapels all compete against

-each other.

-The name of our chapel

-is Peniel Chapel.

-Anyone else?

-I'm competing in a lot of things.

-Writing a story, drawing,

-singing in the choir and so on...

-..as well as singing and reciting

-on my own.

-# So easy would life be

-# Thank you, oh Lord

-# Without fear or foul

-# Thank you, oh Lord

-# You gave me kind parents

-# Friends from every house

-# Non comparable are these

-# Thank you, Lord

-# Amid the beauty of the world

-# Keep me safe all times

-# In the warm radiance

-# Of your love. #

-APPLAUSE

-I didn't have much luck

-with the singing...

-..and I mixed up the words.

-I wonder if the judge noticed?

-Then we had Iwan Arthur.

-He had a very strong

-and clear voice.

-His wording was very good.

-He, just like most of the boys

-here...

-..had problems with the voice

-and raised his head...

-..to try to reach the note.

-But unfortunately he wasn't

-successful every time.

-What was also unfortunate,

-and I don't know why...

-..but maybe we understand,

-you mixed up the words a bit.

-He didn't stop...

-..but he did mix up some of the

-words in the first verse.

-That's how we heard them.

-First place tonight goes to

-Mari Elain.

-I'm going to share second place

-between Euros and Mari Wyn.

-Third goes to Iwan Arthur.

-May I thank them all.

-By the time I arrive home

-it's nearly midnight...

-..and I'm exhausted.

-I got third in the reciting too.

-But I came first

-for writing a story.

-Has Dad brought the Daily Post?

-I want to see what's on television.

-How can you stand that?

-How can you eat that, Lowri?

-It's horrible.

-Come on, it's three minutes

-to nine. Off you go to school.

-Come on, hurry up.

-Bye. Ta-ra.

-There's one good thing

-about our house.

-I can get to school in 15 seconds.

-The two of you, Mari and Nia.

-Where did Nain go to school?

-Ysgol Gynradd Adpar,

-Newcastle Emlyn.

-That's far from here.

-How far did she live

-from the school?

-About a mile and a half.

-About a mile and a half.

-

-How did she get there?

-She walked.

-I like going to school. Mr Pugh

-the headmaster is very kind.

-At the moment we're talking

-about the types of schools...

-..that were had when Nain and Taid

-were little.

-Iwan, you said Taid.

-Which school did Taid go to?

-Ysgol Goch, Y Bala.

-The primary school in Bala.

-Ysgol Goch.

-Why did they call it that?

-It's made of red bricks.

-It's made of red bricks.

-

-Yes, red bricks.

-And it's still that colour

-and still called that name.

-What's its real name?

-# Under the light of the large moon

-# We danced until day break

-# Back and forth

-# Forwards and back

-# Dance we will around the meadow

-# We dance and dance

-on light foot... #

-We sing a lot in our school.

-At the moment, we're preparing

-for the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Auntie Ann isn't a teacher

-in the school...

-..but she's come in to help

-with the choir.

-# Until we see a local boy

-# He has been caught,

-he will never escape

-# We enchant, enchant

-our own country

-# We'll enchant all the boys

-from one to another. #

-Mam has brought her harp

-to school today...

-..to help us with the cerdd dant.

-Our boys party is hoping to beat

-the girls party this time.

-# The noise of everything and

-the sound of the loud cries

-# And that's what we call

-quarrelling

-# Everyone at their very best

-# Scolding and arguing

-# In the mansion's branches

-# And when the sun sets... #

-18 items from our school have gone

-through to the Nationals this year.

-We are looking forward to going.

-The big day has arrived.
