Using energy sticks that lit up when a circuit was complete, the children carried out a range of experiments to discover which everyday materials allow electricity to flow and which stop it in its tracks. Many of the children were surprised to learn that they could conduct electricity themselves by joining hands to create human circuits that lit up the energy sticks.

We will be working a 12-hour shift on Saturday 1 August and working continuously for 24 hours starting at approximately 5am on Thursday 6 August and ending in the early hours of Friday 7 August.

This activity is taking place with permission from the relevant authorities, including Eryri National Park Authority. 

This work is to allow us to construct a concrete slab at the base of the reception shaft at our Llandecwyn site, which will allow us to lift the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) out of the ground once it finishes tunnelling across the estuary.

Mae'r gweithgaredd hwn yn digwydd gyda chaniatâd yr awdurdodau perthnasol, gan gynnwys Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri. 

Pwrpas y gwaith hwn yw caniatáu i ni adeiladu slab concrit ar waelod y siafft dderbyn ar ein safle yn Llandecwyn, a fydd yn ein galluogi i godi'r Peiriant Tyllu Twnnel (TBM) allan o'r ddaear pan fydd wedi gorffen twnelu ar draws yr aber.
