Trosolwg o’r Cwrs

Yn dilyn llwyddiant y cwrs Rhyfeddodau Gwaith Coed gyda Pete Moorhouse, mae’r sesiwn hon yn adeiladu ar yr arferion creadigol hynny drwy archwilio defnydd pwerus deunyddiau mewn dysgu.

Mae’r sesiwn hon yn archwilio sut y gellir defnyddio deunyddiau creadigol fel offer pwerus i gefnogi dysgu. Bydd ymarferwyr yn datblygu dealltwriaeth ddyfnach o rôl deunyddiau o fewn addysgeg Dysgu Sylfaen, gan ganolbwyntio ar sut mae deunyddiau fel clai, papur, fabrig, golau a rhannau rhydd yn gallu ysgogi creadigrwydd, chwilfrydedd ac annibyniaeth.
Trwy gymysgedd o weithgareddau ymarferol ac enghreifftiau o arferion effeithiol, bydd cyfranogwyr yn archwilio sut i symud o weithgareddau arwynebol i brofiadau dysgu cyfoethog, ystyrlon sy’n cefnogi ymgysylltiad a dilyniant dysgwyr.

Cynulleidfa Darged

Ymarferwyr sy’n gweithio gyda phlant 3–8 oed, gan gynnwys athrawon, CALU a chynorthwywyr addysgu. Mae’r sesiwn hefyd yn berthnasol i arweinwyr sy’n dymuno cryfhau darpariaeth a’r amgylchedd dysgu.

Amcanion y Sesiwn

Erbyn diwedd y sesiwn, bydd cyfranogwyr yn:

  • Deall sut mae deunyddiau yn cefnogi creadigrwydd a dysgu
  • Defnyddio ystod o ddeunyddiau yn hyderus mewn darpariaeth ddyddiol
  • Dylunio profiadau dysgu agored ac ystyrlon
  • Adfyfyrio ar eu harfer er mwyn gwella canlyniadau i ddysgwyr

Fel rhan o’r cwrs, bydd ymarferwyr yn derbyn amrywiaeth o ddeunyddiau o ansawdd uchel i gefnogi eu defnydd parhaus yn eu lleoliadau eu hunain. Bydd yr adnoddau a ddarperir yn cynnwys clai, gwifren, hesian, cylchoedd brodwaith, torrwyr metel ar gyfer clai, rholeri a deunyddiau creadigol ychwanegol. Bwriedir i’r adnoddau hyn helpu ymarferwyr i archwilio’r syniadau a gyflwynir yn ystod y sesiwn a pharhau i ddatblygu profiadau dysgu cyfoethog, agored eu natur o fewn eu darpariaeth.


Mae’r cwrs hwn ar gyfer gweithwyr ysgolion Abertawe yn unig.


Course Overview

Following the success of the Woodwork Wonders course by Pete Moorhouse, this session builds on those creative approaches by exploring the powerful use of materials in learning.

This session explores how creative materials can be used as powerful tools to support learning. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the role of materials within Foundation Learning pedagogy, focusing on how clay, paper, fabric, light and loose parts can stimulate creativity, curiosity and independence.
Through a blend of practical exploration and examples of effective practice, participants will explore how to move beyond surface-level activities towards rich, meaningful learning experiences that support engagement and progression.

Target Audience

Practitioners working with children aged 3–8, including teachers, HLTAs and teaching assistants. The session is also relevant for leaders seeking to strengthen provision and learning environments.

Session Aims

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • Understand how materials support creativity and learning
  • Confidently use a range of materials in everyday provision
  • Design open-ended, meaningful learning experiences
  • Reflect on practice to improve learner outcomes

As part of the course, participants will receive a range of high-quality materials to support ongoing use in their own settings. Resources provided will include clay, wire, hessian, embroidery hoops, metal clay cutters, rolling pins and a range of other creative materials. These resources are intended to help practitioners explore the ideas introduced during the session and continue developing rich, open-ended learning experiences within their provision


This course is for Swansea school employees only.
