Today we had our second week of Feis Rois. First, we did a warm up with Caitlin, where we learned some Gaelic words.                             Next, we looked at some instruments, on a PowerPoint that Paul showed us. The instruments included, fiddle, acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, bodhran (which is a drum), flute, tin whistle, double bass, and clarsach (which is a little harp).   We also watched a few videos of people playing the instruments.                                                                              After that, we sang our Gaelic song, and Caitlin taught us actions for it.  Here is a short clip, where Caitlin shows the actions, so you can practise at home for next week.                                                                                    IMG_7172                                                                                                                                  Here is a picture:

On the 25th of January, it will be Robert Burns day. We will be having a traditional ‘Burn’s Lunch’.  Every pupil selected a Scottish poem to learn. We will all recite them during the week beginning  31st of January. We will also make a piece of art, like a model, or a painting, which we need to bring in by the 27th of January. A winner will be chosen, for both the art and the poems. We are looking forward to reciting our poems, listening to others and viewing the wonderful art work.

Feis Rois are back in school again! Last year they had to do it over Microsoft Teams, but  now they can finally come into the building! The tutors are called Caitlin and Paul. Caitlin taught us a song in Gaelic, and Paul played us a song in Scots. We really enjoyed  joining in with the singing and listening to live music! At the end of term, we will be recorded, and we will make a radio show, which will be put on Soundcloud. Next week, we will learn some actions for the Gaelic song, and we will try to sing it faster.                                                                                                              IMG_8963                                                                                                                                IMG_8962                                                                                                                                IMG_8961                                                                                                                                  IMG_8960
