Published: 3 April 2020
This specially-developed Welsh content fits into a wider package of support that the 大象传媒 is delivering for pupils all across the UK, to ensure that every child can continue to learn, and have fun, through our high-quality teaching and accessible education offer.
As the 大象传媒 unveils its biggest educational drive ever, 大象传媒 Cymru Wales has announced how it’ll be supporting parents and students across Wales during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Bitesize Daily / Bitesize Dyddiol is part of a wider package of support for pupils in Wales. Made by 大象传媒 Education in collaboration with teachers, this brand new learning content is delivered through short films and supporting animations for pupils aged 3-14 years. The service will launch with core subjects content and will be available from 20 April.
In addition, 大象传媒 Wales has already published special online resources for primary and secondary school pupils, as well as information and guidance for parents in Wales.
This content is part of the 大象传媒’s newly-expanded education offer that will bring 14 weeks of educational programmes and lessons in all parts of the UK, for children of all ages.
This offer includes special lessons from well-known faces and partnerships with high profile organisations such as the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Premier League, and additional content such as videos, quizzes, and podcasts will bring core subjects to life online at 大象传媒 Bitesize.
大象传媒 Cymru Wales Director, Rhodri Talfan Davies, says: “During these uncertain times, and as schools have now closed to the majority of pupils, 大象传媒 Cymru Wales is doing everything it can to help parents support and continue their children’s education. And we know that the demand is there, as huge numbers turn to 大象传媒 Bitesize resources to look for support.
“Working closely with teachers, the Welsh Government and parents, we have developed additional new content for pupils in Wales. This specially-developed Welsh content fits into a wider package of support that the 大象传媒 is delivering for pupils all across the UK, to ensure that every child can continue to learn, and have fun, through our high-quality teaching and accessible education offer.”
Kirsty Williams, Welsh Government Minister for Education says: “Parents right across Wales have done an incredible job of following advice, keeping children at home and allowing our schools to care for the children of critical workers and our most vulnerable learners.
“As a parent myself, I know how concerned people are about the impact this crisis will have on children’s education - I am also seeing, first-hand how challenging learning from home can be.
“I am delighted the 大象传媒 has stepped up to the challenge and has developed an excellent package that will ensure every child in Wales will have the opportunity to continue learning at home, alongside our Hwb platform - I look forward to the launch on April 20.”
大象传媒 Wales will be publishing specially-designed educational content for pupils in Wales in collaboration with teachers and partners. There is already guidance for parents to help them navigate their way through the wealth of resources available on 大象传媒 Bitesize and 大象传媒 Teach for Wales-specific content in English and Welsh. Learners will also be directed to content through the Bitesize Facebook account as well as the 大象传媒 Wales Twitter account and will soon be able to find content through 大象传媒 iPlayer. 大象传媒 Wales is also working in partnership with the Welsh Government on the ‘Continuity of Learning for Wales’ plan which will be announced by the government during April.

Cynnwys wedi’i deilwra i fyfyrwyr yng Nghymru fel rhan o ymgyrch addysg fwyaf erioed y 大象传媒.
Wrth i’r 大象传媒 gyhoeddi ei ymgyrch addysg fwyaf erioed, mae 大象传媒 Cymru Wales wedi cyhoeddi sut y bydd yn cefnogi rhieni a myfyrwyr ar draws Cymru yn ystod pandemig y Coronafeirws.
Mae Bitesize Dyddiol / Bitesize Daily yn rhan o becyn cymorth ehangach i ddisgyblion yng Nghymru. Wedi’i gynhyrchu gan Adran Addysg y 大象传媒 mewn cydweithrediad ag athrawon, caiff y cynnwys dysgu newydd sbon ei gyflwyno drwy ffilmiau byrion a darnau animeiddio i ddisgyblion 3-14 oed. Bydd y gwasanaeth yn lansio gyda chynnwys y pynciau craidd, a bydd ar gael o’r 20fed o Ebrill.
Yn ogystal, mae 大象传媒 Cymru eisoes wedi cyhoeddi adnoddau ar-lein arbennig i ddisgyblion cynradd ac uwchradd, yn ogystal â gwybodaeth ac arweiniad i rieni yng Nghymru.
Mae’r cynnwys yma yn rhan o arlwy addysg newydd ehangach y 大象传媒, a fydd yn dod â 14 wythnos o raglenni a gwersi addysgol ym mhob rhan o’r DU, i blant o bob oed.
Mae’r arlwy yn cynnwys gwersi arbennig wrth wynebau cyfarwydd a phartneriaethau gyda sefydliadau amlwg fel y Royal Shakespeare Company a’r Uwch Gynghrair Bêl-droed, a bydd cynnwys ychwanegol fel fideos, cwisiau a phodlediadau yn dod â’r pynciau craidd yn fyw ar-lein ar 大象传媒 Bitesize.
Dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr 大象传媒 Cymru Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies: “Yn ystod y cyfnod ansicr hwn, a gan fod yr ysgolion wedi cau i’r rhan fwyaf o ddisgyblion, mae 大象传媒 Cymru Wales yn gwneud popeth o fewn ei allu i helpu rhieni i gefnogi ac i barhau ag addysg eu plant. Ac ry’n ni’n gwybod bod yna alw, wrth i’r nifer fawr droi at adnoddau 大象传媒 Bitesize i chwilio am gymorth.
“Drwy weithio'n agos gydag athrawon, Llywodraeth Cymru a rhieni, ry’n ni wedi datblygu cynnwys newydd ychwanegol i ddisgyblion yng Nghymru. Mae’r cynnwys yma sydd wedi’i ddatblygu’n benodol i Gymru yn rhan o becyn cymorth ehangach y mae’r 大象传媒 yn ei ddarparu i ddisgyblion ledled y DU, i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn gallu parhau i ddysgu, a chael hwyl, drwy ein harlwy addysg a dysgu hygyrch o ansawdd uchel.”
Dywedodd Kirsty Williams, Gweinidog Addysg Llywodraeth Cymru: “Mae rhieni ar draws Cymru wedi gwneud gwaith anhygoel wrth ddilyn cyngor, cadw plant gartref a chaniatáu i'n hysgolion ofalu am blant gweithwyr allweddol a'n dysgwyr mwyaf bregus.
“Fel rhiant fy hun, rwy’n gwybod pa mor bryderus y mae pobl am effaith yr argyfwng hwn ar addysg plant – rwyf hefyd yn sylweddoli, o brofiad, pa mor heriol y gall dysgu o adref fod.
“Rwy’n hynod o falch bod y 大象传媒 wedi mynd i’r afael â’r her ac wedi datblygu pecyn gwych fydd yn sicrhau bod gan bob plentyn yng Nghymru gyfle i barhau i ddysgu o adref, ochr yn ochr â’n platfform Hwb. Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at y lansiad ar 20 Ebrill.”
Bydd 大象传媒 Cymru yn cyhoeddi cynnwys addysgol sydd wedi’i gynllunio’n benodol i ddisgyblion yng Nghymru mewn cydweithrediad ag athrawon a phartneriaid. Mae yna ganllawiau eisoes ar gael i rieni i'w helpu i lywio eu ffordd drwy'r cyfoeth o adnoddau sydd ar gael ar 大象传媒 Bitesize a 大象传媒 Teach ar gyfer cynnwys sy’n benodol i Gymru yn Gymraeg a Saesneg.
