Keeping children moving through physical development
Physical development - encouraging children to develop their motor skills, coordination and balance - is an important part of the Curriculum for Wales.
Wendy Davies, the leader of Ffrindiau Bach Tegryn in Aberporth, discusses the importance of keeping the children moving but also being creative with how they move, in order to develop muscles and motor-skills. We learn how taking children out to explore their local area helps to cover multiple developmental pathways at once. -
Cadw plant i symud trwy ddatblygiad corfforol
Mae datblygiad corfforol - annog plant i ddatblygu eu sgiliau echddygol, cydsymud a chydbwysedd - yn rhan bwysig o Gwricwlwm Cymru.
Mae Wendy Davies, arweinydd Ffrindiau Bach Tegryn yn Aberporth yn trafod pwysigrwydd cadw’r plant i symud ond hefyd bod yn greadigol ynghylch sut maen nhw’n symud, er mwyn datblygu cyhyrau a sgiliau echddygol. Clywn ni sut mae mynd â phlant allan i archwilio eu hardal leol yn helpu i gwmpasu llwybrau datblygu lluosog ar yr un pryd. -
Creating a sense of belonging
Belonging is a sense of happiness and feeling accepted in the environment you’re in. It is important to children’s development and is another developmental pathway in the Curriculum for Wales.
Hannah Rowley, a deputy leader from Cylch Meithrin Nant Dyrys in Treorchy, introduces us to belonging in a playgroup setting. We’ll hear how local trips to hairdressers, charity shops and into the wider community are some of the ways Hannah and team use to create a sense of belonging for children. -
Creu ymdeimlad o berthyn
Mae perthyn yn deimlad o hapusrwydd a theimlad eich bod yn cael eich derbyn yn eich cynefin. Mae'n bwysig i ddatblygiad plant ac mae'n llwybr datblygiadol arall yng Nghwricwlwm Cymru.
Mae Hannah Rowley, dirprwy arweinydd Cylch Meithrin Nant Dyrys yn Nhreorci, yn ein cyflwyno i berthyn o fewn y Cylch Meithrin. Cawn glywed sut mae teithiau lleol i siopau trin gwallt, siopau elusen ac i’r gymuned ehangach yn rhai o’r ffyrdd y mae Hannah a’r tîm yn eu defnyddio i greu ymdeimlad o berthyn i blant. -
Permission to explore
Children’s curiosity about the world around them helps to shape their development. The exploration step of the Curriculum for Wales focuses on this developmental pathway.
Jaqueline Hooban, a Cylch Meithrin leader in Llanbedr, discusses exploration and how it differs in each Cylch. We’ll hear how techniques like role-play, using sandpits and even going out into the community help children to learn at their own pace. -
Caniatâd i archwilio
Mae chwilfrydedd plant am y byd o'u cwmpas yn helpu i lunio eu datblygiad. Mae cam archwilio Cwricwlwm Cymru yn canolbwyntio ar y llwybr datblygiadol hwn.
Jaqueline Hooban, arweinydd Cylch Meithrin Llanbedr, sy'n trafod archwilio a sut mae'n wahanol ym mhob Cylch. Byddwn ni'n clywed sut mae technegau fel chwarae rôl, defnyddio pyllau tywod a hyd yn oed mynd allan i'r gymuned yn helpu plant i ddysgu ar eu cyflymdra eu hunain.
