An t-sìde

Welcome back to Cròileagan! We hope you all had as good an Easter holiday was was possible in the circumstances. 

Since the weather has been so good we decided that we would revisit some phrases about the weather. 

On our handout the phrases are:

Ciamar a tha an t-sìde an-diugh? - How is the weather today?

Tha i grianach - It is sunny

Tha i fliuch - It is wet

Tha i gaothach - It is windy

Tha i sgòthach - It is cloudy

Tha is brèagha - It is beautiful

You can find out how to pronounce all of these phrases by watching this clip here  There are some extra phrases there that you could also learn, if you like. 

They are:

Tha i fuar - It is cold

Tha i garbh - It is terrible

Tha i tioram - It is dry

Tha an t-uisge ann - It is raining

Tha ceò ann - It is foggy

Tha sneachd ann - It is snowing

For craft we have a few options for you. Firstly you could print off some of these colouring in pages and colour in the one that suits the weather that day. 

You can find these pages here.

You could also make this weather dice. It is available as a black and white print out that your little one can colour in. You can find it here.

Finally, if you don’t have access to a printer you could simply source a paper plate and paint/colour it yellow. If you don’t have paper plates then just cut out a big circle. If you’re feeling ambitious you could also draw around your little one’s hands lots of times, cut them out and then stick them around the sun, like this one below.

Our handout this week is below.

The song is a nice simple one, sung to the tune of Frere Jaques. The words are:

Tha i grianach, Tha i grianach 

Lèine-t, lèine-t

Agus briogais ghoirid, agus briogais ghoirid 

Tha mi blàth, Tha mi blàth.

It is sunny, it is sunny,

T shirt, t shirt,

And shorts, and shorts,

I am warm, I am warm.

Don’t forget to share your crafts with us. We would love to be able to share them all with everybody else at the end of the week.
