Pupils from class 2 have been learning all about the Royal Charter, the ship full of gold which sank off the coast of Moelfre in 1859. As part of this work, they visited Oriel Mon in Llangefni to see the Royal Charter exhibition and to watch the specially commissioned DVD. They then went on to Moelfre to have their lunch and to view the 'scene' of the tragedy.
Later on they visited Llanallgo church where many of those who perished in the storm were buried. We are very grateful to Mr Gwilym Hawes ex headteacher at Moelfre school and Mr Dafydd Evans church warden, for showing us around the inside of this 800 year old church.
They also showed us the commemorative obelisk which was erected by public subscription to remember the tragedy and those who perished.
The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit which helped to clarify a number of points discussed in class.
Yr wythnos hon bu Dosbarth 2 yn dysgu am y Royal Charter, y llong llawn aur a suddodd ger arfordir Moelfre ym 1859. Fel rhan o'r gwaith ymwelodd y plant ag Oriel Mon yn Llangefni ac yno gwelsant arddangosfa a DVD yn ymwneud a'r llongddrylliad. Yna aeth y plant i Moelfre i weld man y drychineb ac hefyd i fwyta cinio.
Yn y prynhawn ymwelodd y plant ag eglwys Llanallgo lle claddwyd y rhai a foddwyd. Roedd y dosbarth yn ddiolchgar iawn i Mr Gwilym Hawes, cyn-brifathro Ysgol Moelfre a Mr Dafydd Evans Warden yr eglwys am ddangos y tu mewn i'r eglwys hynafol iddynt. Gwelsant hefyd yr obelisg a gyflwynwyd i'r eglwys gan y cyhoedd i gofio'r drychineb a'r rhai a foddwyd.
