Sylwadau a rhannwyd hefo'r wythnos gyntaf o ddata tywydd:

Stanford in the Vale Primary School: This week was frosty and we had some frost in the morning. We’re looking forward to seeing the weather changes.

Oaklands Primary: Hi Professor Plant - it's been a dry but cold week here in Aberaman. Our first frosty day on Monday, lovely sunshine after a very rainy Hallowe'en which washed away all our labels. Luckily, we know which way round our bulbs were planted and we decided as a class that we'd make sure we look after everyone's pots so it doesn't matter that they are not individually named at the moment. Phew! See you next week!

Ysgol Penalltau: Diolch am y bylbiau, ond dim glaw yr wythnos yma!

Pil Primary School: It has been very cold and dry this week.

Darran Park Primary: The weather is a lot colder and drier this week

St Josephs Cathedral Primary: No rain records as rain gauge was lost. We have found this now so will take records from next Monday.

Ysgol Gymraeg Dewi Sant: Roedd y glawiad yn uchel dydd Llun oherwydd fod llawer o law wedi syrthio dros hanner tymor.

Pencampwyr Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion

Penny Dacey, 19 Ebrill 2021

Dechreuodd ymchwiliad Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion yn 2005 ac mae wedi bod yn cyflwyno disgyblion CA2 i wyddoniaeth, newid hinsawdd a’r amgylchfyd naturiol ers 16 mlynedd. Gwelwyd sawl her yn ystod project 2020-21 a fu’n ysbrydoliaeth i ni gyd weithio mewn ffyrdd newydd a dyfeisgar.

Mae ysgolion ar draws y DU wedi dangos penderfyniad a gallu amryddawn wrth fynd i’r afael â heriau a achoswyd gan y pandemig a’r cyfyngiadau a ddaeth yn ei sgil. Rydym yn ddiolchgar i’r holl ysgolion a barhaodd i gasglu a rhannu data tywydd. Fe wnaethant hyn yn aml drwy ofyn i ddisgyblion sy’n byw gerllaw’r ysgol i fynd â’r offer tywydd gartref. Roedd y disgyblion hyn yn gyfrifol am gofnodi ac uwchlwytho’r data ar ran eu hysgolion yn ystod y cyfnod clo.

Byddwn ni’n cwrdd â rhai o Wyddonwyr Gwych Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion drwy gofnodion Blog. Ein Pencampwr cyntaf yw Riley, sydd wedi bod yn cofnodi darlleniadau tywydd ar gyfer Ysgol Gynradd Stanford in the Vale.

C. Sut flwyddyn wyt ti wedi ei chael yn y cyfnod clo?
A. Dwi wedi cael blwyddyn gymysg, dwi wedi bod yn falch i fynd nôl i’r ysgol achos doeddwn i ddim wir yn hoffi dysgu o gartref. Roeddwn i’n hapus i weld fy ffrindiau i gyd!!  

C. Pam wyt ti’n meddwl fod y project yn bwysig?
A. Dwi’n credu fod y project yn bwysig iawn. Yn ogystal â helpu gyda sgiliau mathemateg, mae hefyd yn mynd â chi mas i’r ardd i gael hwyl.

C. Sut wnest ti helpu i gynnal y project?
A. Eleni dwi wedi bod yn helpu gyda’r project drwy wneud y mesuriadau tywydd o gartref. Dwi’n credu bod hi’n bwysig i gadw’r project i fynd hyd yn oed yn ystod y cyfnod clo!

C. Beth wyt ti’n ei fwynhau am wneud mesuriadau?
A. Dwi’n mwynhau gweld y gwahaniaethau yn y tywydd bob dydd, dwi’n hoffi sut ti’n gallu cael diwrnodau amrywiol iawn o ran tymheredd a glawiad. Mae pob diwrnod yn wahanol!

C. Beth wyt ti wedi sylwi am dy fesuriadau tywydd a blodau eleni?
A. Dwi wedi sylwi eleni fod gyda ni rai dyddiau poeth iawn gyda rhai tymhereddau yn cyrraedd hyd at 25 gradd ym mis Mawrth!!  

C. Beth wyt ti’n edrych ymlaen ato fwyaf wedi’r cyfnod clo?
A. Y peth dwi’n edrych mlaen ato fwyaf yw gweld teulu a ffrindiau eto!! Mae’n teimlo fel gymaint o amser ers i fi ei gweld nhw!!

Diolch Riley.

Diolch i chi am eich holl waith caled Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,

Athro’r Ardd

 

Blodau Bendigedig

Thomas Lloyd, 25 Mawrth 2021

Shwmae Cyfeillion y Gwanwyn!

Mae nifer ohonoch wedi yn sôn yn ddiweddar bod eich Bylbiau Bychan wedi blodeuo sy’n wych!  Mae amser yn dod i ben i lanlwytho eich data blodeuo i’r wefan Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion os nad ydych wedi yn barod.  Y dyddiad cau yw dydd Gwener Ebrill 2ail, sydd hefyd yn Ddydd Gwener y Groglith felly gallwch fwynhau picen y Grog ar ôl lanlwytho’ch data!  Sicrhewch fod eich data blodeuo wedi ei lanlwytho erbyn y dyddiad yma i sicrhau fod pob Cyfaill y Gwanwyn yn derbyn eu tystysgrif Gwyddonwyr Gwych!

Wyddoch chi fedrwch adael sylwad wrth lanlwytho eich data blodeuo a thywydd?  Di wrth fy mod yn clywed am eich profiadau gofalu am eich Bylbiau Bychan felly plîs cadwch y sylwadau'n dod trwy’r wefan Bylbiau’r Gwanwyn i Ysgolion neu ar Drydar.  Dyma ambell o’ch sylwadau o’r wythnosau diwethaf:

  • “Ar ddiwrnodau heulog mae’r blodau crcoys yn agor fel sêr” – Dosbarth 2, Coastlands Primary.
  • “Braf yw gweld sut mae’r blodyn yn cau wedi tywydd oer ac agor wrth i’r haul ddod allan!” – Amy, Stanford in the Vale Primary.

Arsylwadau arbennig Cyfeillion! Mae rhai blodau yn fregus a byddant yn cau i amddiffyn eu hun rhag y tywydd oer a all eu niweidio.  Wrth i dymereddau codi maent yn “agor fel sêr!”

Mae Ysgol Henllys yn sicr wedi cael canlyniadau cennin Pedr cymysg:

  • “Roedd fy un i yn dal iawn” - Aneurin
  • “Roedd fy un i yn denau” - Emily
  • “Roedd fy un i yn dda iawn nes bo’r gwynt yn ei dorri” - Oliver

O diar, mae’n flin gen i glywed hynny Oliver! Yn sicr fe gawsom ni gyd gwyntoedd cryf yn ddiweddar sydd yn gallu fod yn beryglus i gennin Pedr tal.  Llwyddoch chi gyd dyfu blodau ac nid chi sydd ar fai.

  • “Agorodd fy mwlb i heddiw ond mae rhywbeth wedi bwyta’r petalau.  Mae nifer o’n bylbiau wedi eu dwgyd gan wiwerod yn ystod yr hydref a gwelsom ni rhai ohonynt yn gwneud ar ein camera nos!” – Alexandra, Livingston Village Primary School

Nid dyma’r tro cyntaf i mi glywed am ladron blewog yn dwyn bylbiau ac yn anffodus nid dyma’r unig sylwad o’r Cyfeillion yma yn sôn am hyn.  Anghofiwn weithiau fod bylbiau a phlanhigion hefyd yn fwyd i greaduriaid eraill.  Yr unig les yw eich bod wedi sicrhau pryd o fwyd i anifeiliaid llwglyd!  Ni allaf gredu eich bod wedi ei ddal ar gamera – oes gennych lun allwch rannu?

  • “Mae’n debyg fod ein bylbiau yn y ddaear wedi agor yn gyntaf ym mis Chwefror a rydant yn fwy o lawer na’r rhai wedi eu plannu ym mhotiau.  Rydyn ni gyd wrth ein boddau yn gwneud y prosiect yma a rhaid rhoi canmoliaeth arbennig i Riley (cyn-ddisgybl yr ysgol) am helpu Mrs. Finney gyda’r arsylwadau tywydd a glawiad yn ystod lockdown” - Mrs. Finney, Stanford in the Vale Primary School.

Arsylwad diddorol iawn - mae gan fylbiau sy’n tyfu yn y ddaear mwy o fwynau a gwagle i dyfu na bylbiau sy’n tyfu ym mhotiau felly rydant yn aml yn blodeuo’n gynt ac yn tyfu’n dalach os ydynt wedi eu cysgodi rhag y gwynt.  Rydw i wrth fy modd clywed eich bod chi gyd wedi mwynhau gweithio ar y prosiect eleni ag am ymdrech wych gan Riley!  Darllenaf eich holl sylwadau hyfryd ynglŷn â’r tywydd a garddio a diolch o galon am helpu Mrs. Finney gyda’r gwaith dros lockdown, rwyt yn Gyfaill y Gwanwyn anhygoel!

Mae’r flwyddyn yma wedi bod yn anodd i bawb ond rydych chi gyd wedi gwneud gwaith anhygoel ac mae gweld gymaint o flodau hardd yn dystiolaeth o’ch holl waith caled.  Diolch o galon unwaith eto Cyfeillion y Gwanwyn, athrawon a rhieni!  Gobeithiwn agor ymgeision am Fylbiau’r Gwanwyn 2021 – 22 yn dilyn gwyliau’r Pasg, felly os ydych wedi mwynhau bod yn Gyfeillion eleni gewch chi gyfle gofalu am ragor o Fylbiau Bychan tymor nesaf!

Garddio Hapus!
