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, 4th Class visited our new Senior Library with its lovely new shelving.
They’ve chosen novels to read this week and will be doing chapter summaries, character profiles and reviews of their chosen novels.
A huge congratulations to all the children in 4th Class. Today, we submitted answers to RTE’s News2Day “Question of the Week” and the show were very impressed with the children’s answers and they featured in the show today.

The children in 4th Class visited a Dublin City Council commissioned exhibit by artist Lucy McKenna called “High Strangeness” and took part in a workshop facilitated by IMMA. The exhibition explores ideas and stories at the edge of our understanding of the universe, inspired by storytelling.
The school received a lovely message of appreciation for the wonderful fundraising at the Junior Infant Nativity Show. Parents donated €250. This was noted as a generous and valuable donation and a much-appreciated act of kindness. Thank you do all who donated!
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.
It was fantastic to have a visit from Orlagh Fitzpatrick from Bohemian FC’s women’s team. The pupils and Orlagh had a great chat about how to manage school and football and had some time to practice some skills. This is part of Bohemian FC’s Community outreach work and a longer term relationship between St Gabriel’s NS and Bohemian FC.
