YOUNG ENGINEERS: More than 100 children took part in workshops over Easter

Caerphilly Castle was reconstructed over the Easter holiday with the use of 3,000 Lego bricks.

The challenge was part of a series of Cadw workshops, which saw more than 100 children animate stories from Wales’ past.

Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to engage young people with our rich history in a fun way. We are blessed to have fantastic sites across Wales, which provide the perfect inspiration for young, creative minds.”

A competition is open for people to imaginatively create a version of their own Welsh historic site.

    Well done kids, good to see them being constructive and not destructive. Lego, a great British invention that was stolen by somebody else.

    Nice one Paul; nothing like hyjacking a foreign invention and claiming it as ours.
    All such dodgy suggestions are acceptable at the moment because we are in the election season.
