Today we listened to Miss McKerrell reading a story from the active board. The story was called Digiduck and the Big Decision. In the story, digiduck learned that it can be upsetting to make fun of your friends online even when you think it’s just a joke. After the story we had a talk about when things pop up on our screens and what we should do about it. Then we drew a picture of one of the characters from the story.
Tha a’ chlann air a bhith ag obair cho trang an t-seachdainsa is mar sin, dh’fhalbh sinn a-mach dhan raoin-chluiche gus dens a thogail. Dh’obraich iad ann an dà bhuidheann gus planadh a dhèanamh mus do thog iad na dens aca. Tha mi cinnteach gun aontaich sibh rium gun do rinn iad deagh oidhirp!
Tha children have been very busy this week so we took to the playground to build some dens. They worked in 2 groups to plan the resources they would need and to discuss what their dens would look like. I’m sure you’ll agree that they did a fantastic job!
Feasgair an-diugh, dh’fhalbh sinn air chuairt shìos am Battery gus bheothaichean agus lusan ùra a lorg. Chunnaic sinn eich, caoraich agus tòrr eòin. Tha sinn cho fortanach gu bheil an t-àite seo cho faisg oirnn.
This afternoon, we took a walk down the Battery to find animals and signs of spring. We saw some buds and flowers as well as horses, sheep and plenty of birds. We are so lucky to have this right on our doorstep.

Rinn sinn seisean còmhla ri Leugh le Linda an-diugh air Teams. Dh’ionnsaich sinn na samhlaidhean airson diofar bheothaichean, dh’èist sinn ri sgeulachd agus sheinn sinn òran ùra. Bha sinn air bhioran nuair a chunnaic sinn na sgoiltean eile.
We joined in with Leugh le Linda today for a live session. We learnt the signs for a few different sea creatures, listened to a story and sang a new Gaelic song. It was exciting to see so many other Gaelic classes from all over Scotland on our screen.

We listened to music called ‘The Storm’ by Benjamin Britten. After lots of practice with the instruments we made our own composition of the storm from our story about the Loch Ness monster. Can you hear the storm get loud and then quiet again? We explored different rhythms and tried to add that in too.
