Our Visit to Pontypridd Museum

On Monday we visited Pontypridd Museum to take part in a workshop based on medieval machines. Mr Brian Davies welcomed us and we were divided into five groups. We were allowed to handle all of the equipment and have a go at all of the tasks. This included making patterns with tiles, building bridges, printing our names with real ink and even riding a wooden horse. One of the trickiest tasks was to weave wool using an old fashioned loom. Some of us dressed up in chain mail. We thought it was really heavy! A good time was had by all!
