What a great and busy first few weeks we’ve had back at Saint Gabriel’s – and not just the children!

Maths games are up and running this week in Senior Infants, Second Class and 4th/5th class. We are so lucky to have parents involved in every class – a huge thank you to them all. It’s not too late for any other parents, guardians, grandparents, or other family members who are available to get involved. Just contact the class teacher or Anna to find out more. There are still three weeks of fun in maths to go in these classes.

Our exercise regime is now taking effect too. Monday’s walking group has started and we hope more and more of you will come each week. It’s a great way to start a Monday morning. Angelica’s aerobics class is already popular on a Wednesday morning. Bootcamp in Stanhope Street starts on Friday. You can go straight there for 9:30, or meet at Anna’s room at 9:15 if you’re not sure where to go.

Cookery classes start back next Friday October 3rd. Please let Anna know as soon as possible if you would like to join.

Parent/teacher class meetings have been a great success over the last two weeks. They were a great opportunity to meet with the class teacher and find out how things work in your child’s class. Miss Turley’s 6th class meeting will now be held next Tuesday 30th September at 2pm.

We were also delighted to welcome Smithfield Boxing Club into the school for a demonstration for the children last week. See the notice boards for details on classes if you are interested in more. It’s another super way to keep fit.

Remember to keep an eye on the notice boards for other classes going on, or contact Anna directly if there’s something in particular you’re looking for.

 

FREE Parent Classes now starting

The children have settled back at school. Now is the perfect time for the adults to make some time for themselves too.

Starting today, we have Aerobics with Angelica – every Wednesday at 9:20am in the hall.

Beginners English and English FETAC Level 3 also start today. Meet at Anna’s room at 9am. Classes will be every Tuesday and Wednesday 9:15 – 11:15 in Stanhope Street.

From Monday, we’ll be out walking at 9am too.

More classes coming soon – including Cookery and Bootcamp. Speak to Anna for more details.

Parent/Teacher Class Meetings

Our annual parent/guardian-teacher class meetings will take place over the next two weeks. These meetings give you the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher at the beginning of the year and to hear what the rules, routines and structures in your child’s class will be for the coming year. Each teacher will explain what type of homework you can expect your child to have and how long it should take them.
You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
The meetings will take place in the parent’s room on the following days.
We look forward to seeing you at them.
