SuperSibs Tŷ Hafan

Megan Naish, Hwylusydd Addysg, 27 Mawrth 2024

Mae Amgueddfa Cymru wedi dechrau partneriaeth gyda Tŷ Hafan fel rhan o’n Rhaglen Teuluoedd a Blynyddoedd Cynnar. Yn y bartneriaeth hon, rydyn ni hefyd yn gweithio gyda grŵp SuperSibs Tŷ Hafan, a grëwyd ar gyfer brodyr a chwiorydd plant â salwch sy’n cyfyngu ar eu bywyd a theuluoedd sydd wedi cael profedigaeth. Yn ein sesiynau, rydyn ni’n ysgogi’r plant gyda chrefftau, chwarae a gemau sy’n seiliedig ar agweddau o gasgliad ein hamgueddfa, megis ‘Diwrnod Darganfod Deinosoriaid’, ‘Dan y Môr’ a ‘Bwystfilod Bach’.

Mae rhai sesiynau yn cael eu cynnal yn yr Hosbis ei hun, sydd ger y traeth, a’r tir hardd o’i hamgylch yn rhoi lle i’r teuluoedd ymlacio, chwarae a chrwydro. Mae sesiynau eraill yn cael eu cynnal ar-lein o’r amgueddfa, gan ddarparu fersiwn ddigidol a hygyrch y gellir ei gwneud gartref o’r gweithgareddau sydd wedi’u cynllunio. Mae ein sesiynau yn aml yn canolbwyntio ar weithgareddau cymdeithasol mewn grŵp sy’n cynnig cyfle i blant chwarae a threulio amser gyda’i gilydd, tra’n gwneud defnydd o gasgliad trin a thrafod hyfryd yr amgueddfa. Mae’r gweithgareddau anffurfiol yn annog iddyn nhw sgwrsio, ymddiried a rhannu, sy’n gallu bod yn fuddiol ac yn bwysig i blant a allai fod â phrofiadau bywyd tebyg. 

Gan weithio gyda’r staff gwych yn Tŷ Hafan, rydyn ni’n gallu cyfrannu at yr amgylchedd positif, diddorol a chyfeillgar hwn drwy rannu ein hadnoddau a datblygu perthynas deilwng o ymddiriedaeth gyda theuluoedd hyfryd Tŷ Hafan!

Happy Easter Bulb Buddies

Penny Dacey, 26 Mawrth 2024

Thank you to all of the schools who have uploaded their weather and flower data before finishing for the holidays. Some of you are still collecting data this week and will be uploading it to the website on Thursday. Thank you for all of your hard work. 

Schools have shared some lovely comments about the project this week. Some of these are included to the right. 

After the holidays we will announce winners of the BulbCast video competition. In May we will send prizes out to all schools who have shared data. Before the end of the school year we will share a report that explores the weather and flower data and compares it to previous years. 

Thanks again Bulb Buddies,

Exploring the Magic of Spring: A Season of New Beginnings

Penny Dacey, 23 Chwefror 2024

Hi Bulb Buddies! There’s something in the air at the moment, as winter begins to turn into Spring. You may have noticed blooming flowers, chirping birds, and longer days? These are some of the earliest signs that springtime is coming! Let's dive in and explore some of the exciting changes that you might notice as this season draws closer.

 

What is Spring?

Spring is one of the four seasons that we experience each year. It comes after winter and before summer. During spring, the days become warmer, and nature starts to wake up from its winter snooze. In the UK Spring begins in March, so it’s still a few weeks away. But there are lots of signs that it’s coming. 

 

The Early Signs of Spring:

  • Blossoming Flowers: One of the first signs of spring is the appearance of colorful flowers. Keep an eye out for daffodils, crocus, tulips, cherry blossoms, and many more as they start to bloom and paint the world with their vibrant hues.

  • Singing Birds: Have you noticed the cheerful melodies filling the air? That's the sound of birds returning from their winter migrations and singing to attract mates or establish territories. Listen closely, and you might even hear the distinctive songs of robins, sparrows, and finches.

  • Buzzing Bees and Butterflies: As the flowers bloom, they attract busy bees and fluttering butterflies. These important pollinators play a crucial role in helping plants reproduce. Watch them flit from flower to flower, collecting nectar and pollen.

  • Greening of Trees: Look around, and you'll notice the leaves on trees starting to unfurl. Spring brings new growth, transforming bare branches into lush green canopies. It's a sign that life is returning to the land.

  • Warmer Weather: Bid farewell to chilly days as spring brings warmer temperatures. It's time to shed those bulky winter jackets and enjoy the gentle sunshine.

  • Baby Animals: Spring is a time of birth and renewal. Keep an eye out for baby animals like ducklings, lambs, and bunnies as they make their debut in the world. You can watch for new lambs on the LAMBCAM from 1 March: Lambcam 2024 (museum.wales)

  • Rain Showers: Don't forget your umbrella! Spring often brings showers that help nourish the earth and support new plant growth. So, embrace the rain and splash in the puddles.

  • Longer Days: Have you noticed that the days are getting longer? That's because spring marks the time when the Earth's axis tilts closer to the sun, giving us more daylight to enjoy outdoor adventures.

 

Spring is truly a magical time of year, full of wonder and new beginnings. So, grab your magnifying glass, put on your explorer hat, and venture outdoors to see how many signs of spring you can spot! One might be your bulbs, have they started to grow? Can you see what colours your flowers will be yet?

If this is your favourite part of the investigation so far, maybe it will inspire your entry to the BULBCAST video competition! More details on this can be found here: Bulbcast 2024 

Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies,

Addysg Blynyddoedd Cynnar yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd mewn partneriaeth â Dechrau'n Deg

Megan Naish, Hwylusydd Addysg, 7 Chwefror 2024

Mae Amgueddfa Cymru wedi cydweithio â Dechrau’n Deg i wahodd teuluoedd â phlant ifanc i edrych ar ein casgliad drwy chwarae, crefftau, a gweithgareddau synhwyraidd fel rhan o’n Rhaglen Addysg Teuluoedd a Blynyddoedd Cynnar.

Mae dod â phlant ifanc i amgueddfeydd yn gallu peri pryder a phetrustod i lawer o deuluoedd, felly mae ein sesiynau dydd Sadwrn wedi’u cynllunio i leddfu’r pryder hwnnw drwy ddarparu llefydd diogel o dan oruchwyliaeth ac adnoddau rhyngweithiol i’n hymwelwyr ieuengach sy’n hybu eu chwilfrydedd a’u haddysg. 

Mae’r sesiwn benwythnos yn cael ei chynnal unwaith y mis, ac mae yna thema gwahanol i bob un yn seiliedig ar agwedd o gasgliad ein hamgueddfa, fel ‘Diwrnod Darganfod Deinosoriaid’, ‘Dan y Môr’, ‘Bwystfilod Bach yn yr Ardd’, ac ‘Oes yr Iâ’. Rydyn ni’n defnyddio Canolfan Ddarganfod Clore fel lleoliad ar gyfer ein sesiynau Dydd Sadwrn i Deuluoedd, a gall teuluoedd daro mewn drwy gydol y dydd a chael cyfle i edrych ar ein casgliad trin a thrafod eang.

Ein nod yw rhoi amgylchedd diogel a chroesawgar i’n teuluoedd gael treulio amser gyda’i gilydd, creu atgofion a chael profiad o’r amgueddfa mewn ffordd unigryw sy’n cefnogi anghenion ein hymwelwyr ifanc a’u teuluoedd.
