Spring Bulbs For Schools Report

Hi Bulb Buddies,

I've attached the end of year report documents to the right of this post. 

Take a look at them to see how this year's results compared to those of previous years. The UK wide report goes back to 2012 and the Wales report goes back to 2005!

I've also uploaded a list of all of this years fun Kahoot quizzes. Why not have a go and see how good you are at interpreting the data shown. You can re-take the quizzes as many times as you like to see how much you've learnt. 

Here are some facts from the UK report, there are many more!

• Our findings show that plants flowered latest in Scotland.
• This is only the second year where crocus plants flowered earlier than daffodils.
• The average flowering date for the crocus and daffodils combined has only been earlier in 2019 and 2020.
• We had the warmest February of our investigation.
• The MET Office stated that February 2024 was the second warmest February on record for the UK in a series dating back to 1884. 
• 2024 saw the lowest hours of sunshine since our project began. 

Thank you to all the schools who contributed to the investigation by sharing their weather and flower data to the Amgueddfa Cymru website. 

Fantastic work!
