Tha sinn a’ toirt cuireadh do sgoilearan (Gàidhlig no Beurla) a bhith nan luchd‑aithris de Ghàidhlig, a’ rannsachadh mar a thathar a’ cleachdadh na Gàidhlig anns a’ choimhearsnachd aca agus a’ cruthachadh susbaint chruthachail a tha a’ riochdachadh na Gàidhlig san sgìre far a bheil iad a’ fuireach. Roinnidh sinn an t-susbaint aca air an làrach‑lìn againn agus air na meadhanan sòisealta.
Tha goireasan againn gus cuideachadh a thoirt seachad, agus mura h-eil na sgoilearan air na h‑aca a chrìochnachadh ro dheireadh an t‑seachdain, faodaidh iad barrachd ùine a ghabhail gus crìoch a chur air.
We invite pupils (Gaelic or English) to become reporters of Gaelic, exploring how Gaelic is used in their community and creating creative content that represents the language in the area where they live. We will share their content on our website and on social media.
We have resources available to support them, and if they haven’t finished their work by the end of the week, they can take an extra time to complete it.

Bheir an òraid seo sùil aithghearr air na buaidhean a bu mhotha a chruthaich dannsa Albannach mar a tha iad anns an latha an-diugh, gu h-àraid am-measg nan Gàidheal.

There are several forms of dance that practiced in Gaelic communities and in Scotland in general, and many people claim that they date back to beyond the mists of time, but the forms of dance that survive into the present only began to emerge in the eighteenth century, and they were greatly changed in the second half of the nineteenth century. This presentation will provide a summary of the main influences that created Scottish dance as we have it in the present, especially in Gaelic contexts.
Dr Michael Newton earned a Ph.D. in Celtic Studies from the University of Edinburgh in 1998 and was an Assistant Professor in the Celtic Studies department of St Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia 2008-2013. He has written a multitude of books and articles about Gaelic culture and history and is a leading authority on Scottish Gaelic heritage in North America.
