Am Burras Acrach 

Our vocabulary was the days of the week. If you want to print out a copy for yourself you can download one here.

At circle time we read Am Burras Acrach. We all had our own little Burras and passed pictures of the food in the story around for them to nibble as we read the story. You can watch a You Tube video of the story here.

At craft time we made a paper plate Burras, and some of us then stuck them onto duilleagan.


Dè an aois a tha thu?

Two weeks ago we talked about how old everyone was.

Our vocabulary was...

Dè an aois a tha thu? -  What age are you?

Tha mi... I am

Aon - One

Dhà - Two

Trì - Three

Ceithir - Four

Coig - Five

For craft we decorated our own ages.


At song time we sang an old favourite, Coig Tunnagan Beaga

Còig (5) tunnagan beaga, còig tunnagan beaga,

Còig tunnagan beaga ‘dol ‘Cuac, cuac, cuac’,

Shuas gu h-àrd, sìos chun an làr –
