A bheil thu ag iarraidh......? (2)

We continued looking at the same phrases as last week.

A bheil thu ag iarraidh.....? (A vel oo ag ee-ar-ee.....) - Do you want........?

Tha / Chan eil (ha / chan yel) - Yes / No

Tha mi ag iarraidh.... (ha me ag ee-ar-ee.......) - I want....

Chan eil mi ag iarraidh..... (chan yel me ag ee-ar-ee......) - do not want....

Taois (Tish) - Playdough

Remember a couple of weeks ago we talked about how the ‘ao’ sound is a longer sound than just an English ‘i’, so the word taois actually sounds more like ‘tiiiish’ phonetically! Also, taois isn’t just the word for playdough. You would also use it to talk about dough in general, like if you were making bread.

Instead of a craft this week we played with our playdough. We also all got a little bag of it to take home with us too.

At song time we sang ‘Nigh do làmhan salach’ again.

Nigh do làmhan salach (nyee do lavan salach)

Nigh do làmhan salach (nyee do lavan salach)

Sgrìob, scròb, scrìob, scròb (screeb, scrob, screeb, scrob)

Agus Nigh do làmhan salach (agus nyee do lavan salach)

Wash your dirty hands

Wash your dirty hands

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

And wash your dirty hands.

We had lots of requests from people for the recipe we use for our playdough. As it happens, one of our groups made a little video showing you how to make this playdough a few months ago. It’s taken us until now to get round to editing it, but we think it’s been worth waiting for!
