Àireamhan

Fàilte Air Ais!

Welcome back to the new term. We hope that everyone enjoyed the summer, and got to practice some of the Gaelic holiday vocabulary we learned in June.

We are going to start back by learning our numbers in Gaelic this week and next. Below you will find the Duilleag Fiosrachaidh (information sheet) that you will get at this week's sessions. We are going to be singing an old favourite to practice our numbers, and our craft will go along with the song too. You can find the sound files for the vocabulary here, and you can hear the song being sung here.

You'll also see that we have introduced a new section on our Duilleag Fiosrachaidh - Abairtean Feumail (useful phrases). These are phrases that you can practice using during Cròileagan sessions, and at home. These will change only termly, to give you a chance to get lots of use out of them.

Our session times have changed this term, and we are re-introducing our Tuesday morning sessions. You can find details of session times and booking in all the usual places, but our weekly timetable will look like this:

Mondays 9.15-11.00, Leith community centre
Tuesdays 9.15-11.00, Taobh na Pàirce
Wednesdays 9.45-11.30, Tollcross Community Centre
Fridays 9.15-11.00, Taobh na Pàirce

Looking forward to seeing you at a session this week.

It's the last week of Cròileagan before the holidays. We'll learn some vocabulary this week that you might use over the summer, along with a song you might sing when you go to the beach. You can listen to pronunciations of the vocabulary here, and the song here. For craft, we'll make a lovely crab.
