A bheil thu ag iarraidh.....?

This week we learned a few phrases that are useful at snack time.

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.....

Bainne (ban-ye) - Milk

Uisge (ish-ge) - Water

You may also hear Bainne pronounced bon-ye and not ban-ye. As in English there are occasional variations in how some words are pronounced depending on where the speaker is from. 

At craft time we cut out pictures of a selection of snacks and stuck them onto a picture of a plate. We also put the correct words beside each snack.

Then at snack time we were able to put our new words and phrases straight to use when asking what everyone wanted to eat and drink.

Our song this week was, Nigh do làmhan salach (Nyee doh lavan salach) - Wash your dirty hands.

Nigh do làmhan salach (nyee doh lavan salach)

Nigh do làmhan salach (nyee doh lavan salach)

Nigh do làmhan salach (nyee doh lavan salach)

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

Agus nigh do làmhan salach. (Agus nyee doh lavan salach)

Wash your dirty hands

Wash your dirty hands

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

And wash your dirty hands.
