Fferm Ffal di Ral!
Beth sy'n digwydd lawr ar y fferm? Anrhefn llwyr! Nid yw'r ffermwr yn codi'n ddigon cynnar i fwydo'r moch, na godro'r gwartheg chwaith. Nid yw Mrs Ffal di Ral yn siwr faint o'r gloch ydi hi...amser brecwast?...amser cinio?...amser te falle? A beth am Ffion druan? Mae hi'n colli'r bwrs yr ysgol pob dydd. Beth sy o'i le? Cynan Ceiliog sydd ar fai! Nid yw byth yn canu ar yr amser iawn. Mae pob anifeiliaid ar y fferm yn cytuno...rhaid i Cynan Ceiliog ddysgu sut i ddweud yr amser!
Mae Fferm Ffal di Ral yn defnyddio pypedau llaw, perfformio byw a cherddoriaeth i archwilio cyfeillgarwch ac amynedd.
Cynhyrchiad cyfrwng cymraeg. Addas ar gyfer plant rhwng 3-8 oed.
Ar gael o fis Mawrth tan fis Gorffennaf 2025. 45 munud o hyd.
What's the Time Mr Rooster?
If only Rusty the Rooster could learn to tell the time. Sometimes he would crow far too early…sometimes he would crow far too late…sometimes he forgot to crow at all! Farmer Turnip and Mrs Turnip rarely got up on time to milk the cows, feed the pigs or let the hens out. Poor Tilly Turnip was always missing the bus to school. No one ever knew if it was time for breakfast, lunch or supper.
All the animals on Turnip Farm agree that something must be done. It was time to get organised! Rusty the Rooster must learn to tell the time!
WHAT’S THE TIME MR ROOSTER? features charming hand puppets with live action, music and plenty of fun!
Come and join the animals on Turnip Farm to discover the virtues of perseverance and patience…and help them to teach Rusty the Rooster how to tell the time!
This delightful production will be on tour from Monday 14th October 2024 and will tour schools, libraries and community venues until July 2025.
Suitable for children aged 4-7 years. 45 minutes duration.

SHADOW PUPPETS
Shadow puppet workshops explore light and shadow in a fun and exciting way. Shadow puppetry is an expressive art that inspires imagination and creativity. Participants experience the beauty and magic of creating their own shadow puppets which they can then use to transport us all to an imaginary world. Dive into an ocean to see creatures of the deep, fly high with dragons of myth and legend or venture into a forest where woodland creatures creep...
Participants are treated to a shadow puppet production and this is followed by the workshop. Simple, colourful and exciting shadow puppets, static or jointed, can be made and played with within an hour. These workshops are suitable for all ages and abilities. Groups of up to 30 are catered for. All materials are provided.

Rod PUPPETS
Rod puppet making and manipulation workshops allow participants to use their imagination and creativity as they bring all sorts of characters to life! Our Victorian rod puppets are especially popular! This is a unique and interesting way to enjoy history topics. All materials are provided. Groups of 30 are catered for.
A highly experienced workshop facilitator will tailors each workshop to meet the needs of all ages and abilities.
Puppetry is an accessible, non-threatening, empowering, imaginative, creative and performing art. It is cross-curricular and cross-cultural. It has the potential to help develop confidence and enhance skills in many areas, including language and communication, social and interpersonal skills and physical development...not forgetting mathematical skills relating to size and proportion, science, design and technology - it's all there in puppetry!
