Wishing all the pupils and their families a very Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays!

From all the staff in St Gabriel’s NS

School reopens Monday January 6th

On Thursday Ms Sweetman’s class and Mr Donnelly’s class decided to do some festive shared reading and took turns reading each other some wonderful seasonal books. Junior Infants are becoming very independent around the school and 2nd Class were great role models to their younger school mates. Well done everyone, and happy Christmas!

A very busy but very special visitor popped into school today with some lovely gifts for all the children. We know how busy he is this time of year getting ready for the big night, so we are delighted he found the time to drop in. The children received some lovely books from him in our magical Santa Grotto! We hope they enjoy reading them! Happy Christmas!

Second class have been having lots of festive fun printing with different materials and ideas. We looked at different ways of printing and then used baking tins, blue-tac and wooden blocks to make our own prints and copies.

There has been huge excitement and big crowds for our Christmas performances this week and shows continue tomorrow, Friday, and into next week. Check out some pictures below.
