Ysgol Carrog

Ysgol Carrog Having read Margaret's account of her Corwen childhood in the 1930s, children at Ysgol Carrog wrote about their lives today.

Sioned, 10: It's quite pretty in Carrog and as long as you've got your friends around you can have quite a lot of fun. We go down to the river, go to the park and play on our bikes.

Alice, 11: I like playing with my friends in the park. I live on a farm so we go down there and play by the stream. We're allowed to go out without our parents so we have a lot of freedom and we go to each others' houses. We have a lot of fun! I enjoy watching television, I like the Simpsons and Doctor Who. I go on the internet, on the CBBC site and play the games there. I don't read a lot but sometimes in the evening I read before going to bed.

Eleanor, 11: I like reading. I read before I go to sleep because it helps me sleep and sometimes my mum reads to me if I can't get into the book. My favourite author is Michael Morpurgo.

Cody, 10: Life in Corwen in OK but I wouldn't live there when I'm older. There's a bit to do in Corwen but not that much. Sometimes I go down to the park and sometimes I go to Eleanor's house and we play on the trampoline and stuff.

Callum, 11: If you want to go to the cinema you have to go to Wrexham. I take the bus to get there. There's a train station in Carrog but it only goes to Llangollen.
