Dathan

We’ve had lots of new families starting at Cròileagan since the start of term so we’ve decided to go back to basics for a few weeks.

Starting off with dathan (colours) this week.

Our vocabulary was:

Dè an dath a tha seo? - What colour is this?

Dearg - Red

Buidhe - Yellow

Gorm - Blue

Uaine - Green

Donn - Brown

Purpaidh - Purple

Glas - Grey

Orains - Orange

Dubh - Black

Pinc - Pink

You can find a clip showing you how to pronounce these colours here.

For craft we coloured in some little pictures with the correct colours.

Our song was Dathan aig a Bhogha-Fhrois, which is sung to the same tune as the English Colours of the Rainbow song.

If you missed our sessions this week and would like to get a copy of our handout for yourself then you can do so here.

We’ll be looking at colours again next week so plenty time to practise those pronounciations!
