S4C is proud to announce a new partnership with Twinkl, the website that creates and offers educational resources for children of all ages.

Twinkl's teacher-created resources provide entire schemes of work, lesson planning and assessments right through to online educational games, augmented reality and much more. And from May onwards, brand new resources for the science series Boom! will be available to use and download for free on Twinkl's website.

Boom! is a fiery series full of scientific experiments with the brothers who excel on everything to do with science, Rhys and Aled Bidder, presenting. This is Stwnsh's most extreme series; explosions, flames, and even more explosions – everything's under the magnifying glass on Boom!

And in order to encourage children's interest and curiosity in the subject, Twinkl has created educational resources to correspond with the latest series.

Sioned Wyn Roberts, S4C's Children's & Learning Content Commissioner, said:

"The extreme science series Boom! is very popular on Stwnsh. But now, thanks to Twinkl, an exciting package of educational resources are available to correspond with the series. Children can therefore enjoy the content and learn at the same time.

"As a public broadcaster, it's very important that our factual content is used in schools as part of quality resources created by teachers and subject specialists.

"I would like to thank Twinkl and Boom Kids for their cooperation as we establish this exciting partnership."

Sioned Beamer, Wales Country Manager for Twinkl, said:

"Our mission at Twinkl Cymru is to provide high-quality content for Welsh-medium educators and those who teach in Wales – helping those who teach is at the heart of everything we do.

"As soon as we watched Boom!, we couldn't wait to start creating resources. They are the perfect combination of entertaining and educational!

"We're very proud to partner with S4C and Boom Kids to create resources that directly support the Curriculum for Wales and promote the Welsh language."

These brand-new resources will be available to use and download for free on Twinkl's website from May onwards. And the new series of Boom! is on Stwnsh every Wednesday at 5.45pm and on demand on S4C Clic.
