Turas dhan Chaisteal

Air an 29mh den Damhair, chaidh an dara bhliadhna air turas a dh'fhaicinn tri dha na h-aiteachan san do dh'fhuirich Mairi Banrigh na h-Alba.

B'iad Luchairt Ghlinn Iucha, Caisteal Chreig na Muilne agus Caisteal Dhun Eideann ar tri cinn-uidhe is abair gun robh latha trang againn!  Shiubhail sinn air an treana a Ghleann Iucha is thug sinn suil mun cuairt air an luchairt eireachdail a tha an sin.  Bha sinn fortanach leis gun robh Ann Paterson comhla rinn o Alba Aosmhor is dh'innis i dhi mu dheidhinn an aite agus eachdraidh na luchairt.

Thadhail sinn an uair sin air an da chaisteal ann an sgire Dhun Eidinn.  Bha a h-uile duine air an doigh gun robh latha math againn a-thaobh na side, is chur sinn seachad treis mhath a' coimhead Caisteal Chreig na Muilne is ghabh sinn greim bidhe ann an cuirt-lios a' chaisteil.

Mu dheireadh, chaidh sinn a Chaisteal Dhun Eideann.  Bha a' chlann air an doigh nuair a chunnaic iad gun robh am bhideo a rinn iad sa bhun-sgoil mun chaisteal fhathast a' cluich san ionad-failte - is gann gun aithneachadh Mr. Charity cuid dhe na h-aodannan oga!

Seo agaibh a' chiad cheum ann a bhith a' cruthachadh an leabhair mu Mhairi.  Sna miosan a tha romhainn, bidh an clas a' trusadh fiosrachaidh, a' gearradh dhealbhan agus a' cruthachadh goireas a theid a sgaoileadh air feadh na h-Alba.  Ar taing do dh'Alba Aosmhor airson am proiseact seo a chur air bhonn.

On the 29th of October, S2 went on a whirlwind tour of three of the Mary Queen of Scots' residences.

In one busy day, we managed to see Linlithgow Palace, Edinburgh Castle and Craigmillar Castle.

We were fortunate to have Ann Paterson from Historic Scotland with us on the day, and she gave the pupils some great insight into the history connected to these places.

A highlight for the pupils was seeing themselves on film at Edinburgh Castle.  This video that they made in primary was still being shown in the reception at the castle, much to S2's delight!  Mr Charity was having a hard time recognising some of the young faces!

This trip was the first step in the Mary Queen of Scots project, which will culminate in an information booklet about Mary and her various residences.  We are grateful to Historic Scotland for this opportunity.

Am Mod

Bu mhaith leinn a radh cho math is a rinn sgoilearan Sheumais Ghilleasbuig aig a' Mhod Naisteanta bho chionn ghoirid.  Bha grunn mhath sgoilearan an sas ann an caochladh fharpaisean is bu choir dhaibh uile a bhith proiseil mu na rinn iad.

Co-fhairpisean is cothroman

Dh’fhàg Laura Nic a’ Phearsain agus Lola Stahl an sgoil tràth an-diugh, a’ dèanamh air Beul Feairste.  Tha iad gus pàirt a ghabhail san fhairpis bhlaidhnail ‘Ri Chèile’ far am bi sgoilearan na Gàidhlig agus na Gaeilge a’ tighinn còmhla gus an sgilean labhairt a thaisbeanadh.  Bruidhnidh sgoilearan air diofar chuspairean, a thaghadh iad fhèin, is thèid am breithneachadh a-thaobh susbaint, stoidhle agus mar sin air adhart.

Gura math thèid leotha!

Tha AS2 cuideachd a’ dol a bhith ag obair air pròiseact an co-bhonn le Alba Aosmhor, far am bi iad a’ cruthachadh leabhair mu Mhàiri Banrìgh na h-Alba – tuilleadh fiosrachaidh ri thighinn!

An teirm ùr

Tha gnothaichean gu math diofraichte am bliadhna aig Àrdsgoil Sheumais Ghilleasbuig.  Tha an sgoil a-nis suidhichte eadar dà làrach, is na sgoilearan ann an AS4-AS6 shìos an rathad anns an togalach ris an canar ‘Darroch’.

Ged a tha seo air a bhith caran àraid, tha tidsearan agus sgoilearan a’ fàs cleachdte ris.

Chan e sin an t-aon rud a dh’atharraich am bliadhna ge-tà – gu mì-fhortanach (dhuinne) ghluais Mgr. Neithercut à dh’Fhorfair a dhol an ceann a chosnaidh san Àrdsgoil an sin.  ’S e call mòr a tha sin dhan sgoil seo, ach tha sinn a’ guidhe gach soirbheas dha na dhreuchd ùr.

Chuir sinn fàilte air na sgoilearan mu dheireadh bho Chrois na Cìse cuideachd, is tha iad a’ dèanamh glè mhath gu ruige seo.  Tha e gu math brosnachail a bhith a’ faicinn àireamh nan sgoilearan a’ dol am meud.

Tha sinn a’ dèanamh fiughair ri bliadhna thrang, shoirbheachail eile!

Corra dhealbh

'S e seo corra dhealbh a fhuair sinn de na sgoilearan againn air latha a' Mhoid mios sa chaidh, a h-uile coltas ann gun robh latha air leth aca uile!

Mòd Ionadail Dhùn Èideann

Ghabh mòran sgoilearan 'Ghilleasbuig pàirt anns a' Mhòd sa Ghiblean.  Nochd sluagh mòr airson na fairpis bliadhnail is bha latha air leth aig a h-uile duine a bha an sàs innte.

Rinn clann na h-àrd-sgoile fìor mhath, is iad a' cosnadh cnap mòr dhuaisean anns na diofar fairpisean. Bha na britheamhan uile gu math toilichte le na fairpisichean, a-thaobh ìre an cuid Ghàidhlig agus cho misneachail 's a bha iad air an àrd-ùrlar.  Bha na tidsearan cuideachd uabhasach moiteil asta, is iad a' taisbeanadh nan sgilean aca air beulaibh an t-sluaigh.

Tha sinn mar-thà a' smaoineachdainn mun ath-bhliadhna, feuch am faigh sinn tuilleadh fhairpisichean an sàs sa ghnothach.

Bu mhath leinn taing mhòr a thoirt do mhuinntir a' Mhòid.  Chuir iad latha sònraichte air dòigh agus tha sinn fada nan comainn airson an cothrom seo a thoirt dhuinn.

Many student at JGHS took part in the Edinburgh Mòd last month.  A big crowd turned out for the annual competition and a fantastic day was had by all.

The JGHS cohort did very well on the day, taking home a good stack of medals.  The judges were very complimentary regarding their level of Gaelic and how confident and comfortable they were on the stage.  The teachers were also very proud to see pupils exhibit their talents for all to see.

We are already looking ahead to next year, especially in terms of increasing the participation of JGHS pupils.

A huge thanks goes to the organisers.  It was an excellent competition and we are very grateful to them for allowing us the chance to participate in such an event.

AS2 ag ionnsachadh Gearmailtis.

An t-seachdain sa chaidh fhuair AS2 Gàidhlig an cothrom beagan Ghearmailtis ionnsachadh.  Thachair seo mar phàirt de dh’iomairt san roinn againn gus blasad de ghach cànan a tha JGHS a’ tabhainn a thoirt do na sgoilearan AS2 againn. Mar a chì sibh bhon dealbh b’ e deagh leasan spòrsail a bh’ aca còmhla ri Mgr Alexander, Ceannard Gearmailtis aig JGHS, agus tha a h-uile duine againn ann an Roinn nan Nuadh-Chànanan cinnteach gum bi na sàr sgilean cànain a th’ aig na sgoilearan againn mar-thà gan cuideachadh gu mòr ma tha iad air cànan a bharrachd a thaghadh airson AS3.

The S2 students got the opportunity to learn a little German last week from Subject Leader for German Mr Alexander, and as you can see from the picture it was an enjoyable lesson that allowed the pupils to use their language skills in a different context.
