Hi everybody!
Can you believe it is June?
I hope you enjoyed the sunshine while we had it and I hope we will see more!
Well done on all the work you are doing and we really enjoyed all the FLOWER POWER activities you took part in.
So this week is Sports Week!
Ms Hyland has been busy preparing lots of fun activities for you to try at home and all of the teachers will be promoting healthy eating and exercise through their tasks this week.
Ms O’Leary has lots of reading books about sport ready for you to enjoy on SeeSaw.
There is a dedicated page on the website HERE where you can find lots of fun activities and your teacher will have class activities on SeeSaw.
We would like you all to have a go at the Design a St Gabriel’s Jersey!
As always you can choose what you want to do and what suits your family best!
We are looking forward to seeing photos of you doing ANYTHING relating to leading a healthy, active life this week and would love to display some of your photos on the school website!!
Happy Birthday this week to Abdi, Heidi, Florin and David!
Now off to find my tracksuit and runners!!!!!
Take care all,

Happy Friday Senior Infants
Hello Senior Infants,
A very ‘Happy Friday’ to you all. I hope you had a nice relaxed bank holiday weekend, enjoying the fabulous weather.
I had a lovely long weekend. The weather was so nice, so my family and I went off to the bog to build turf. Maybe some of your parents will remember going to the bog when they were young?! Here are some pictures.
I am delighted to see all the hard work you are doing on your activities on Seesaw. I was really impressed by the lovely activities you did for ‘Flower Power Week’! Keep up the fantastic work! Ms. Whyte, Ms. Fahey, Ms. Hanlon and Mrs. Condron and I enjoy leaving lovely messages on your wonderful work!
This week, I have been putting together a variety of activities that your child may have-a-go at if it suits. Here is a link to Suggested Activities for Senior Infants.
On Seesaw, I will also upload some activities along with Ms. Whyte, Ms. Fahey, Ms. Hanlon and Mrs. Condron and I hope you enjoy doing them. If you are having any issues with Seesaw, please contact our HSCL teacher Mr. Donnelly who is always happy to help out when he can!
Keep an eye on the school website for some very exciting activities during the month of June!!
Have a lovely week Senior Infants and enjoy the lovely weather we are having!

Van Gogh’s Sunflowers
Last week, the children from Mr Smyth’s 1st Class painted their own version of Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting. Since this week we are talking about Flower Power I thought it might be nice to post up some of their paintings. Enjoy!
Assembly Monday May 25th
Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the last week in May! I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather! Congratulations on all the hard work being done by students, staff and families of St. Gabriel’s N.S.
I want to welcome Ms O’Loughlin back. She will be working as a Support Teacher and is looking forward to catching up with you all!
Ms Dunne loved the beautiful pictures and cards you sent on SeeSaw!
I want to wish Donato a very Happy Birthday from us all!
So this week and next week are a bit shorter as we are off on Friday May 29th and Mon June 1st and Tuesday June 2nd. How valuable this time off is to those trying to juggle home schooling with working from home and the various other challenges that are presenting in our households.
Remember we are all doing our best and to try and put your mental health and wellbeing above all else. There are days when we feel incredibly sad and we miss our friends and routine and there are days where we are able to be grateful for what we have. We need to stay strong, stay at home and do our best so that June 8th will allow us more freedom. I am sure you are all experts by now at washing your hands and maintaining social distance.
So to cheer us up we are going to have a FLOWER POWER themed week!
So I want you to draw flowers, create flowers, colour flowers, photograph flowers, plant flowers, write about flowers, dress up as a flower, dance like a flower and send your photos and videos to your teacher on SeeSaw if you can! Do you get the idea?
The Bloom Festival in Phoenix Park this year will be held on-line. They are running an online competition on Sunday May 31st. They want people to share pictures of their colourful gardens…some fun videos capturing how garden spaces are being used. They also want to celebrate examples of great community spirit…” as simple as adding something to your front garden for those passing to enjoy from a socially acceptable distance.” On May 31st, posts on social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) using the hashtag #BloomwithRTE (more info available here: https://www.rte.ie/lifestyle/living/2020/0518/1139048-bloom-2020-is-moving-online-with-a-colourful-competition/ )
Have a lovely week flowers!!
