An Crogall

Halo a-rithist! Ciamar a tha sibh uile?

Hello again, how are you all?

We're looking at Animals again this week, and will start with a story and simple song.

An crogall nach iarradh gu uisge agus Iomair am Bàta

Row, row, row the boat, Gently down the stream.

 We are happy, happy, happy. We are happy today.

Row, row, row the boat, Gently down the stream.

If you see a big crocodile, Remember to make a noise. Aaaaaaaaagh!

Building on our animal vocab from last week you can try

Hello, and welcome back to another week of virtual Cròileagan. This week we are continuing to learn about different types of transport, specifically some more unusual ways to travel!

Lets start with this weeks song. It may be familiar to some of you, but we haven't done it for quite a while so here is the link to it for you all to sing along. 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid, 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid, 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid, 

Seallaibh mise falbh chun na gealaich.

 

Suas, suas, suas chaidh an rocaid, 

Suas, suas, suas chun na gealaich, 

Nuair a ràinig i shuas, ’s ann a thuit i a-nuas

 ’S bhuail i le brag air an talamh. 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid 

Sum, sum, sum ars an rocaid 

Cha tèid mise tuilleadh chun na gealaich.

There are also some new words for you to learn this week. 

Hot air balloon	Bailiùn adhair theth
Rocket	Rocaid
Raft	Ràth
Camel	Càmhal
Helicopter	Heileacoptar

You can hear how to pronounce these new words here.

A step-by-step guide for making this weeks craft can be found here. These would look lovely displayed at a window or could be used to decorate your bedroom. If you would like to share your creations then please do so via our facebook page or our email address. We love seeing all of your hard work.

And finally for this week, here is the link to the bookbug video of 'Oidhche Mhath Tractor'.

Hello and welcome back to another week of virtual Cròileagan! This week and next we are going to be learning the names for different types of Transport. To start with we will learn the more conventional modes of transport and then next week we will find out all about the more unusual ways that we could travel. You may need to use your imagination. 

We will start with a song that most of you know, and that is very popular at out Cròileagan sessions. You can listen to the song here and you can also watch us singing it at a session a few years ago here!
