Cardigan children have had a film shown in the Senedd.

Year 4 pupils from Cardigan Primary School created an animated film as part of a workshop at Yr Egin S4C Centre.

Their film, which discusses the pros and cons of using plastic, was also displayed at Ceredigion County Council education department's 'Trwy'r Lens' Film Festival.

This innovative project came to life when the pupils had a chance to work collectively, learn about animation techniques, and utilise first-rate technical equipment.

The learning opportunity wasn't limited to animation techniques.

Pupils also learned different skills such as scripting, lighting and set management, voice recording, editing, and how to form a detailed storyboard in the Learning and Experience in the Expressive Arts.

Teacher Mari Roberts expressed her positive views about the experience.

She said: "It was a total pleasure working with Yr Egin, a high-quality creative organisation and the pupils’ response was amazing.

"I urge every school to arrange a workshop in Yr Egin, your pupils and your school will benefit in so many ways."

The workshop was backed by the Arts Council Wales 'Have a Go grant', which opened up numerous invaluable opportunities for the pupils.

Remarkably, the students received an invitation to show their thought-provoking film at an event in the Senedd.

They got a chance to present the film to the minister for education and the minister for rural and environmental affairs from the Government, representatives from ‘The Earth Shot Prize,’ and other environmental organisations.

Llinos Jones, Canolfan S4C Yr Egin project engagement officer, voiced her admiration for the project.

She added: "Nurturing talent is at the heart of Yr Egin’s mission.

"We had a wonderful time with the children of Cardigan Primary School and I am so pleased to hear about the further opportunities they have experienced as a result of this workshop."

The school also earned an invite to showcase their work at a special film festival 'Trwy'r Lens' hosted by Ceredigion County Council at Theatr y Mwldan, providing another splendid opportunity for the young film makers to present their masterpiece in front of an audience.
