DVD resource aids practitioners in Gaelic settings

Gaelic-speaking early years practitioners are being helped to make the most of Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence with a new DVD.

The DVD, produced by Learning and Teaching Scotland, will be sent to all pre-school and primary settings across Scotland where Gaelic is taught, reaching more than 2,000 children. There are 64 Gaelic-medium early years settings in Scotland and Gaelic is taught in more than 100 primary schools.

The resource shows practical examples and makes suggestions for Gaelic active and play-based learning over the curriculum.

In the section on Language, Learning and Development, children are seen learning Gaelic in a range of activities, engaging with the wider Gaelic community and using ICT. Examples are shown of good practice in five selected settings across Scotland. Other sections focus on how children acquire language and how they can become bilingual.
