5th/6th class have done a lot of work, as well as having had a lot of fun, working on the Stories Between Us project this year. This intergenerational oral history project brought the children together with adults from Phibsboro Retirement Group and Henrietta Adult Community Education to play and share stories about their hobbies and pastimes.

A lot of behind the scenes work has happened since Christmas and the exhibition of the work done is now on display in the National Museum, Collins Barracks, where it will be until the end of September.

At the launch, the children returned to the museum to meet again with the adults they met during the project. They got to play and chat together again. The launch ceremony included lots of speeches, and best of all – one by our very own Dennis from 6th class. He did a wonderful job representing the experience he and his classmates had taking part in the project. We are all so proud of him.

Make sure to take some time to visit the exhibition over the coming months, and have a chat with your own families about play past and present.

Boys and Girls from St Gabriel’s participated in the FAI 5 a-side tournament in Irishtown this weekend. Despite some absences, the girls did well, winning their first match 4-0!

The boys topped their group and made it as far as the semi-finals. Well done to all!
