On a beautiful, sunny spring day this week, Senior Infants and 5th Class enjoyed a nature walk in the Phoenix Park. We searched for signs of spring and took time to close our eyes and listen for some sounds that tell us spring is here. Everyone had a wonderful time!
March was a busy month in St. Gabriel’s NS but one of the highlights was definitely Seachtain na Gaeilge. 5th Class had a fantastic time learning the Brush Dance and the Walls of Limerick céilí dance, listening to traditional Irish music as well as story reading as Gaeilge.
Senior Infants and 5th Class enjoyed a lovely trip to the Phoenix Park on Thursday. 5th Class were very excited when Ms Buggy accepted their invitation to ‘buddy up’ and go on this adventure.
We collected some Autumn leaves that Senior Infants are going to use in an Art lesson. Then we followed a trail through some trees, past the flowers and down the hill. There was even time for a visit to the playground!
5th Class have decorated our school’s Sacred Space with a beautiful display based on the theme of friendship.
Congratulations to boys and girls from 5th Class and 6th Class who competed with seven other schools in the Blackhall Cup soccer tournament in Blackhall Place yesterday. The girls won bronze medals and the boys won silver medals. Most importantly, everyone had a really fun day out! Thank you to all at the Law Society for the facilities and the FAI player development course in Cabra for officiating.
Today, Lithuania won in the girls final and Hungary won in the boys final in an exciting end to the inter-class intercultural football competition.
Well done to all who took part and we hope you had fantastic time!
Special thanks to all at Aughrim St. Sports Centre and James and Aibhinn at Bohemian FC for their help.
