Ysgol Gynradd Williamstown, yng Nghwm Rhondda, ddaeth yn gyntaf o’r chwedeg tri o ysgolion yng Nghymru a gymrodd ran yn ymchwiliad Bylbiau'r Gwanwyn yr Amgueddfa eleni.

Enillodd y dosbarth o Wyddonwyr Gwych daith natur i Sain Ffagan: Amgueddfa Werin Cymru, lle cawsant eu tystysgrifau. Fel rhan o'r daith, cawsant gyfle i astudio madfallod dŵr, chwilio am fwystfilod bach, gwylio ystlumod ac adeiladu nythod mawr yn y goedwig!

Athro'r Ardd: ''Cafodd pob un o’r disgyblion ddiwrnod gwych a dylen nhw fod yn falch iawn o'r ffordd maen nhw wedi cynrychioli eu hysgol. Roedd y safon yn uchel iawn eleni; mae’r ysgolion i gyd yn gwella wrth gofnodi eu data. Gwnaeth Williamstown yn arbennig o dda gyda'u cofnodi ac wedi bod yn frwdfrydig iawn o'r cychwyn fis Tachwedd diwethaf tan ddiwedd y gwanwyn – a ddaeth yn hwyr iawn eleni!"

Alison Hall, Athrawes yn Ysgol Gynradd Williamstown: "The pupils said it was the best day out they had ever had - they loved viewing the bat roost in particular! In terms of the investigation, the children have have loved the whole process from planting and recording to measuring and waiting for the first bloom to appear. It has been great for improving their science, numeracy and ICT skills. We are now really enthused about nature and the environment and are keen to set-up more outdoor investigations in our school grounds".

Hello!

I've been pretty quiet blog-wise but not work wise! Oriel 1 is now shut so I've been taking my art and craft activities further afield, trying out different locations on the site in St Fagans: National History Museum and going to Hay festival, Tafwyl, as well as doing some outreach work with schools.

Our quilting club is still going and our next meeting will be on 20 July and will be all day! from 11 until 1 and 2 until 4 (though you are welcome to just come along for some of it). I have also started up a knit and sew group, it's just a chance to come along and meet new people and exchange ideas and the next one of those is on 28 September from 11 until 1.

To keep up to date with what we're up to quilt and craft wise, have a look at our facebook page

We've also taken part in a few Craftivism projects and hope to do more of those over the next few months too. Again, there's a facebook page for that, although we don't just meet in the museum and take part in lots of other events!

And the other newish thing that I've been involved with is the St Fagans book group (yep, there's a facebook page for that too) which meets every month (next meeting 20 july) to discuss novels that have links with the site or have links with Wales. We also invite speakers to come and give us some context for the books too - so, for instance, when we read 'The Rebecca Rioter' by Amy Dillwyn, Sioned Hughes (curator: Politics, Trade and Religion) talked to us about the Tollhouse in St Fagans, when we 'read' (I'm yet to finish it) 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemingway, Heulwen Thomas talked to us about the Welsh links with the Spanish Civil War, and last meeting when we disussed 'The Hill of Dreams' by Arhtur Machen, writer and Machenite Catherine Fisher talked to us about Machen's life and times. The current book we are reading is Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and we'll then be joined by Dr Madeleine Gray who'll be giving her historical take on the novel whilst we visit the church.

If you are interested in getting involved with any of these things please let me know! my email address is sian.lile@museumwales.ac.uk and I'd love to hear from you.

I have to get back to my crochet bunting now!

We’re very excited about our newest specimen on display here in the Clore Discovery Centre –an ichthyosaur skull that was found not far from here at Lavernock (near Penarth).

The skull is going to be on display throughout the summer and this is where you come in.

Instead of us writing an information panel based on what we know about the specimen, we’d rather find out what you would like to know.

So over the next couple of months come into the museum, investigate the specimen and leave your suggestions for what you’d like to discover about the ichthyosaur in the ballot box we’ve set up in the Clore Discovery Centre.

We’ve also got some exciting family workshops lined up where we’ll be learning more about the Jurassic seas that our Ichthyosaurs lived in.

Mae project ‘Bylbiau'r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion’ yn gyfle i filoedd o wyddonwyr ysgol weithio gydag Amgueddfa Cymru i archwilio newid yn yr hinsawdd a'i ddeall.

Ers mis Hydref 2005, mae gwyddonwyr ysgol  wedi bod yn cadw cofnod o'r tywydd a phryd mae eu blodau'n agor, fel rhan o astudiaeth hirdymor o effeithiau'r tymheredd ar fylbiau'r gwanwyn.

Mae tystysgrifau wedi cael eu hanfon at yr holl ddisgyblion yn 3979 a gwblhaodd y prosiect eleni.

Mae rhagor o fanylion yn adroddiadau Athro'r Ardd neu gallwch chi lawrlwytho'r daenlen i astudio'r patrymau!

• Gwnewch siartiau amlder a graffiau i ganfod y cymedrau.
• A wnaeth blodau agor yn hwyr mewn ysgolion oedd yn cofnodi tywydd oer?
• Sut wnaeth tymheredd, heulwen a glaw effeithio ar ddyddiadau blodeuo ar gyfartaledd?
• Chwiliwch am dueddiadau mewn gwahanol lefydd yng Nghymru.

Diolch yn fawr

Ychydig wythnosau yn ôl dyma fi’n cyhoeddi enillwyr a goreuon y Gystadleuaeth Darlunio Cennin Pedr, a nawr gall pawb weld y lluniau gwych ar y wefan!

Roeddwn i’n chwilio am ddarluniau botanegol – darluniau gwyddonol o blanhigion. Roeddwn i’n chwilio am luniau prydferth, ond roedd yn rhaid i rannau gwahanol y cennin Pedr fod wedi eu labelu’n glir.

Mae’r 1af, 2il a’r trydydd yn ennill pecyn gwylio adar a binocwlars bach. Bydd y goreuon eraill yn derbyn bag o hadau blodau i’r ardd.

Cliciwch yma i weld Enillwyr a Goreuon eleni.
