Local AM Paul Davies recently met with students from Ysgol Y Preseli’s history club.
The students are currently researching into Welsh History in the USA.
Mr Davies was shown some of the students’ exhibition and talked about ways in which the Club could exhibit their research on a bigger scale.
Mr Davies said:“It was a pleasure to meet with the students and hear more about some of the fascinating ways in which Wales is linked to the USA. For example, I had no idea that the Washington Monument has a Welsh inscription or that Abraham Lincoln had ancestry from Conwy.”
“The students have clearly put a huge amount of hard work and effort into creating their display and I commend them on their excellent research. It’s great to see children and young people engaged in learning about the past and I look forward to seeing the club’s exhibition more widely so that everyone can enjoy the student’s wonderful work,” he added.
