Edinburgh’s dedicated Gaelic Primary School
Seachdain mhath air a bhith againn. Tha ar lusan a’ fàs anns a’ chlas agus tha sinn air a bhith trang cuideachd.
Ann am matamataig bha sinn a’ cruthachadh buidheanan co-ionnan agus a’ cunntadh a h-uile dàrna àireamh. Le topaig tha sinn a’ cleachdadh diofar bhuinn-airgid gus rudan a cheannach.

C1p have a wonderful week playing together after our holidays. Excitingly we’ve begun several new topics – we began learning about money today, recognising coins and on Wednesday we began our new topic on plants and growth. The children are absolutely loving looking at cress seeds germinating under a magnifying class and we all got a shot of planting a need in soil this week. Best of all we took a trip in the sunshine yesterday to the park to spot all the new life growing.

We’ve had a very wee class this week. We’ve been learning the Gaelic names for parts of the face and creating silly faces.
Chunnaic C1P taisbeanadh aig C6 an-diugh. Dh’ionnsaich iad ma dheidhin Grace O’Malley an reupadair-mara ainmeil is rinn iad òran ma deidhinn oir is e Latha Mòr nan Bàn a th’ ann Diluain.

C1P had the joy of being the audience for C6’s pirate performance in the playground this morning. They had been learning about Grace O’Malley the pirate queen for International Women’s Day.
This week C1 were learning how to keep themselves safe with help from Pantosauraus, they absolutely loved the song which you can watch at home here:
In other news we’ve been learning parts of the body in Gaelic, making numbers in different ways on our fingers, putting numbers in order, creating a story map and the sounds e agus è.
An t-seachdain, thòisich sinn an sgeulachd ur againn – Òireach agus na Trì Mathain agus chruthaich sinn ceistean ‘carson’ ma dheidhinn. Carson a bha Òireach a’ coiseachd a’ steach dhan taigh, ag ithe brochan, a’ suidhe san t-seithear agus a’ cadal anns an leabaidh? Carson gu dearbh? Tha c1P den bheachd gu bheil i gòrach, Òireach gòrach!
A bharrachd air a sin rinn sinn sgilean co-òrdanachadh sùil/làmh le Mgr Angell ann an spòrs, thòisich sinn cuspair ùr againn air ‘Ar Bodhaig’ agus rinn sinn na fuaimean u agus ù. Chuir sinn crìoch air co-chothromachd le bhith a’ cruthachadh pàtrain agus a’ peantadh dealain-dè.
Abair seachdain trang!
