Blodau cyntaf Cymru a Lloegr!
14 Chwefror 2014
,Newyddion gwych gyfeillion y gwanwyn, mae’r cofnodion blodau cyntaf wedi cyrraedd!
Ysgol Gynradd North Road, Carnforth yn Swydd Gaerhirfryn, oedd yr ysgol gyntaf i anfon eu cofnodion ata i. Agorodd eu crocws cyntaf ar 4 Chwefror.
Ysgol Gynradd Wirfoddol Reoledig Raglan yn sir Fynwy, oedd yr ysgol gyntaf yng Nghymru i anfon eu cofnodion blodau. Agorodd eu crocws cyntaf ar 7 Chwefror.
Da iawn i’r ddwy ysgol am anfon eu cofnodion ata i!
Mae Ysgol Gynradd yr Archesgob Hutton yn Lloegr hefyd wedi sylwi bod y crocysau a blanon nhw yn y ddaear yn dechrau tyfu. Bydd planhigion yn y ddaear yn aml yn blodeuo’n gynt na phlanhigion mewn potiau. Oes unrhyw un arall wedi sylwi ar hyn?
Mae’r cofnodion blodau wedi cyrraedd yn llawer cynt na’r llynedd. 1 Mawrth oedd dyddiad blodeuo cynharaf y crocysau y llynedd. Beth yw’r rheswm am hyn?
Wrth edrych ar ganlyniadau Project Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn dros y blynyddoedd, gallwn ni weld bod y dyddiadau blodeuo yn gynt gan fo glawiad yn uwch, y tymheredd yn uwch a mwy o oriau o heulwen. Meddyliwch pa dywydd ydych chi wedi ei brofi yn ddiweddar? Fydd y tywydd eleni yn helpu eich blodau i dyfu ys gwn i?
Eich cwestiynau, fy atebion:
Ysgol Terrig: Our bulbs are now growing above the soil. Prof P: Fantastic new Ysgol Terrig, hopefully it won’t be long until you start to see flowers.
Glyncollen Primary School: we are very exited because are bulbs are going to open soon. next week we are going to measure them. Prof P: Great investigating Glyncollen, have fun with your measuring.
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): It rained a lot and it was very cold and windy. It has not been minus yet. Prof P: I haven’t recorded a minus temperature in Cardiff either.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: We have had alot of rain recently but the bulbs continue to grow bigger and bigger. Prof P: It certainly has been very very rainy, I hope you haven’t had any flooding.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: Me and D. are watering the plants really well. We enjoyed it alot. D: I am really enjoying the bulbs. My one is called xdox and pop. It was supposed to be xbox and pop. Thank you enjoyed this week. Prof P: What funny names for your plants! Very imaginative.
Freuchie Primary School: The children were really excited on Monday 27th January when they realised that 40mm of water had been collected over the weekend! Prof P: Wow - that really is a lot of rain!
Woodplumpton St. Anne's Primary School: We are very excited because the first shoots are beginning to appear. It has been very wet but so far the temperature has not dropped below zero. We wonder if this is unusual. Prof P: Great question Woodplumpton! I have had a look back over our weather data for previous years and it looks like this is not that unusual. The average daytime temperature for the month has only dropped below zero once in the 8 years we have been running the Spring Bulbs investigation. This was in December 2011 when there was heavy snow. I do think it has been less cold this January than in previous years. I look forward to receiving the weather data from all the schools so I can compare all the data in my Spring Bulbs Report!
Newport Primary School: Horrible wet weather most of the week. Prof P: The trouble with the rain is that it gets in the way of playtime doesn’t it?
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): The weather has been cold, wet and windy this week. We have spotted our first shoots peeping through in our pots though. Prof P: It seems like your bulbs don’t mind the wet weather too much.
Chatelherault Primary School: Bad news some people have been pulling out our bulbs but some are growing. And we have had a lot of rain and sun. Prof P: Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that someone has disturbed your bulbs. I hope that the ones that are left will be okay. Sun and rain are the perfect combination to make them grow!
Diolch yn fawr
