Cròileagan Dhùn Èideann

Còmhdhail

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!

Here is some vocab that you can learn this week. I wonder how many you can spot when you are out and about this week. 

Baidhseagal	Bicycle
Càr	Car
Bus	Bus
Motor-baidhg	Motorbike
Truca	Truck
Bhana	Van
Bàta	Boat
Plèana	Plane
Sgútair	Scooter
Coisich (a’ coiseachd)	Walk (walking)
Ruith (a’ ruith)	Run (Running)

You can hear how to pronounce these words here. 

For craft this week you can make these car cards, or how about making a paper airplane and you can see whos goes furthest. My personal favorite though is these little sponge boats that you can play with in the bath! Let us see what creations you come up with via our facebook page. 

Remember that you can access all of the recording for the Gaelic bookbug books here. This week you could listen to 'Bus Maisy'. 

That's all for this week. Please do keep in touch with us via our facebook page, we love hearing from you and we are here to support you with you Gaelic in any way that we can. 

Tioraidh an-drasta!
