Laoidhean Nollaig / Christmas Carols
Carols with our choirs
Friday 20th December, 7pm
Abair oidhche àlainn a bh’ againn ron Nollaig leis ar coisirean agus muinntir na coimhearsnachd a’ seinn laoidhean còmhla. Chòrd e ris a’ chlann agus na h-inbhich agus bha e cho math a thighinn cruinn còmhla aon turas eile ron an Nollaig. Bha 2024 uabhasach trang againn, agus tha sinn an dòchas gum bi 2025 a cheart cho trang agus làn thachartasan inntinneach!
What a brilliant night we had before Christmas with our choirs and the community singing Christmas carols together. The kids and adults were excellent, and it was brilliant to get together before Christmas. A huge thank you to Avril for organising the evening. We had a very busy 2024 and we hope that 2025 is just as busy with lots of interesting events!

Thigibh còmhla rinn airson leabhraichean Gàidhlig a leughadh leis a’ chloinn agus rabhdan beaga a dh’fhaodas a chleachdadh leotha ionnsachadh.
Come along to read some Gaelic books with the children and learn little Gaelic rhymes you can use with them. We hope this group will be particularly useful to parents/carers who are planning to put their child into Gaelic Medium Education but are not confident in their own Gaelic speaking or reading.
Mòran taing do Bòrd na Gàidhlig airson taic a chuir ris a’ phròiseact seo.

Latha Coimhearsnachd 2024
Community Day
Cuairt le CnaG -
A Walk with CnaG
26mh den Iuchar 2023 -
26th of July 2023
Abair latha còmhla ri Comunn na Gàidhlig aig Grinneabhat! Thòisich Ceitidh, Sarah agus na sianar chloinne an latha le cuairt timcheall machair Bhràdhagair is an tràigh. B` e Gèillean na Muice-mara a’ chiad àite far an do stad iad, agus bha a’ chlann a’ smaoineachadh mu cia mheud aca a dh’fheumadh seasamh air muin a cheile gus a’ mhulach a’ ruighinn. Às dèidh beagan deasbaid, cho-dhùn iad gum feumadh iad coignear.
What a wonderful visit from Commun na Gàidhlig here at Grinneabhat! Ceitidh, Sarah, and the six kids set out for the day with a coastal walk around the machair. Starting the trip off at the Whalebone Arch, they tried working out how many of them it would take to reach the top! It was settled on five.
Ma tha an gèillean cho mòr ri seo, dè cho mòr `s a tha muc-mhara?
If the jaw bone is this big, can you imagine how big a whole whale would be?
Leis gun robh an latha cho math, b` e amas na cloinne dealbhan a thogail de na rudan a chunnac iad – gu sònraichte dealbhan de bheathaichean agus lusan. B’ e crùbagan an rud a bha iad bu mhotha ag iarraidh fhaicinn. Ged a bha an latha grianach, cha robh crùbagan ri lorg. Bha dìreach sligean ri fhaicinn agus crùbagan beaga bìdeach. Ach co-dhiù, bha iad toilichte leis na sligean mòra bho na crùbagan.
With the lovely weather we had, the plan was to take pictures of what we saw on our walk - particularly any plants and animals. What the kids were most interested in finding was crabs! While it was a lovely sunny day, it seems all the crabs we could find were either too small or empty shells. However, they happily posed with the big crab claws they found!
Às dèidh bhith ruith timcheall an tràigh, thill a h-uile duine air ais gu Grinneabhat `son milkshakes a-miugh sa ghrèin! An uairsin, chaidh iad dhan rùm choimhearsnachd airson ealain a dhèanamh a’ cleachdadh dealbhan de na rudan a lorg iad air an cuairt, agus dh’ionnsaich iad na faclan Gàidhlig eadar-dhealaichte airson na rudan sin!
After a run around on the beach, everyone headed back to Grinneabhat for some milkshakes outside in the sun. Next, everyone got together in the workshop to make some art out of what they found and learnt the different Gaelic words for them!

Luach Festival opening cèlidh including Sgeulachdan Siarach
Thursday 7th April 2022 6.30pm
The event will include a presentation by local primary school children retelling stories and myths associated with the west side of Lewis, as part of Scotland's Year of Stories 2022.
During the winter months the children accompanied volunteers from Comann Eachdraidh an Taobh Siar (the local history society) on environmental walks to three local sites and heard about the rich cultural and linguistic heritage associated with these special places. The children then created imaginative responses to the stories they heard during creative workshops, reinforcing their grasp of the stories and developing their own artworks.
For more information please contact info@bragararnol.org.
Sgeulachdan Siarach has been supported by the Year of Stories 2022 Community Stories Fund. This fund is being delivered in partnership between VisitScotland and Museums Galleries Scotland with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
