Tha tòrr spòrs againn gach seachdain aig Sgoil na Coille. Bidh Liam a’ dèanamh teine dhuinn agus tha sin gar cumail blàth. Tha an teine cuideachd fìor mhath oir tha sinn dha chleachdadh airson a bhith ag ullachadh greim-bìdh blàsta mar popcorn no fiù ‘s marshmallows!
We have fantastic fun learning outdoors each week at Forest Kindergarten. Liam lights a fire for us, which is great for keeping us warm. The fire is also great as we use it to prepare nice snacks such as pop corn and sometimes we even get marsh mallows too!
Tha sinn uile gu math toilichte tilleadh dhan sgoil àraich an dèidh na soar-làithean againn. Bha na sgoilearan gu math tràng a’ cluich a-muigh sa ghàrradh an t–seachdain seo. Chaidh buidheann de sgoilearan a-mach gu Pàirc Pilrig airson Sgoil na Coille san fheasgair agus bha tòrr spòrs aca.
We are all very happy to return to sgoil àraich after the holiday. We are enjoying the mild weather and have good fun playing outside in the garden this week. A group of the afternoon children had great fun at their first Forest Kindergarten session at Pilrig Park.
An t-seachdain seo tha sinn air a bhith ag ionnsachadh mar a bhios sinn a’ coimhead an dèidh leanabhan beaga agus bha tòrr spòrs againn a’ coimhead an dèidh na doilichean san sgoil àraich.

Bha sinn gu math fortanach gun d’ thàinig mamaidh Emmelie a-steach dhan sgoil àraich airson innse dhuinn mu dheidhinn An Danmhairg. Dh’fheuch sinn biadh blàsta a’ rinn i, chuala sinn ceòl às An Danmhairg agus chunnaic sinn an taigh àlainn a thug i a-steach airson sealltainn dhuinn. Chòrd e rinn gu mòr.
This week at sgoil àraich we have been learning all about Denmark. We were very fortunate that Emmelie’s mum kindly agreed to come in all tell us all about what it is like to live in Denmark. She brought in lots of lovely props and we loved tasting the tasty, Danish food she made for us to try. We listened to some Danish music and really enjoyed looking at the model house she brought in.
Alba

Mar phàirt de ‘Sun Awareness Week’, thàinig a Bh’Uas Cowell-Smith (mamaidh Arley agus Eryn) a-steach an t-seachdainn seo a bhruidhinn rinn mu dheidhinn a bhith cumail sàibhailte is fallain anns a’ ghrèin. Dh’innse i dhuinn mu cho cudthromach ‘s a tha e leigheas grèine agus ad a chleachdadh nuair a tha a’ ghrian ann. ‘S e ‘SPLAT, HAT, WRAP!’ abairt an là.
