Gaelic Awareness Day
As part of the Year of Young People Celebrations in East Ayrshire, James Hamilton Primary School, Sgoil na Coille Nuaidh and Vibrant Communities celebrated a cultural Gaelic day.
At the special celebration event, pupils from James Hamilton primary school learned simple phrases including good morning, hello and my name is. While Gaelic primary school pupils performed at assembly to the rest of the school and taught their peers colours and numbers in Gaelic.
Pupils were treated to a performance from Eilidh Cormach from Fèisean nan Gàidheal, a community based Gaelic arts group. Eilidh spent time teaching pupils new songs and phrases throughout the day and worked intensively with Gaelic learners.
