Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr

🧪🔬 O’R YSTAFELL DDOSBARTH I’R LABORDY! 🌟

Cafodd disgyblion Blwyddyn 12 Cemeg gyfle gwych i ymweld ag Adran Gemeg Prifysgol Abertawe, lle buont yn gweithio mewn labordai prifysgol ac yn cael blas ar fywyd fel myfyrwyr gwyddoniaeth.

Yn ystod y sesiwn, bu’r disgyblion yn cynnal gwaith ymarferol uwch, yn cynhyrchu aspirin ac yn defnyddio technegau labordy i greu a dadansoddi proffil cemegion organig.

Roedd y profiad yn gyfle gwerthfawr i ddatblygu sgiliau ymarferol, dyfnhau dealltwriaeth wyddonol a chael cipolwg ar y cyfleoedd sydd ar gael mewn addysg uwch a gyrfaoedd STEM.

Diolch i Brifysgol Abertawe am groesawu ein disgyblion a darparu profiad mor ddiddorol ac ysbrydoledig.

🧪💡 Mae’r genhedlaeth nesaf o wyddonwyr mewn dwylo da!

🧪🔬 FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE LABORATORY! 🌟

Our Year 12 Chemistry students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit the Department of Chemistry at Swansea University, where they experienced life as university scientists and worked in professional laboratory facilities.

During the visit, students carried out advanced practical work, including the synthesis of aspirin and the use of laboratory techniques to create and analyse profiles of organic compounds.

The experience provided a valuable opportunity to develop practical skills, deepen scientific understanding and gain an insight into the opportunities available through higher education and STEM careers.

A huge thank you to Swansea University for welcoming our students and providing such an engaging and inspiring experience.

🧪💡 Today’s chemistry students could well be tomorrow’s scientists, researchers and innovators.

Dewch yn llu nos yfory!
Everybody welcome tomorrow evening!

🚀⚙️ PEIRIANWYR Y DYFODOL AR Y BRIG!

Hyfryd yw gallu dathlu llwyddiant gwych ein Tîm Peirianneg eleni 👏

Ers mis Hydref, mae’r chwe disgybl wedi bod yn gweithio’n galed, arbrofi a datblygu datrysiad go iawn i her a osodwyd gan Prifysgol Abertawe fel rhan o’r Her Beirianneg EESW.

Heddiw, cyflwynodd y tîm eu prosiect i aseswyr o’r maes peirianneg, gan ateb cwestiynau heriol a dangos dealltwriaeth fanwl o’u gwaith.

O blith 60 o dimau o dros 40 ysgol, ac 11 gwobr ar gael, llwyddodd y tîm i gyrraedd y rhestr fer ar gyfer 3 gwobr genedlaethol — camp anhygoel! 🌟 Yn fwy cyffrous fyth, mae’r prosiect bellach yn cael ei ystyried gan gwmnïau fel opsiwn posibl ar gyfer y dyfodol.

Dyma enghraifft wych o arloesi, gwaith tîm a sgiliau peirianneg o’r radd flaenaf. Rydym yn hynod falch ohonoch!

🚀⚙️ FUTURE ENGINEERS LEADING THE WAY!

We’re delighted to share the success of our Engineering Team this year 👏

Since October, the six pupils have been working, experimenting and developing a real-world solution set by Swansea University as part of the EESW Engineering Challenge.

Today, the team presented their project to engineering assessors, answering challenging questions and demonstrating a deep understanding of their work.

Out of 60 teams from over 40 schools, with just 11 awards available, the team was shortlisted for 3 national awards - an outstanding achievement! 🌟 Even more exciting, their project is now being considered by companies as a potential future solution.

A brilliant example of innovation, teamwork and high-level engineering skills - we are incredibly proud!
