Recently the children from Ms. Hanlon’s 1st Class went on a Senses Walk around the area. “What exactly is a Senses Walk?” you might find yourself asking!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Over the last year and a half, we have had to make a number of changes in St. Gabriel’s NS to deal with the challenging times. One part of these changes that the children and staff have really enjoyed has been the chance to celebrate each child’s birthday in school, as birthday parties have been unable to take place as normal. This year we have some new plans for how these school celebrations will work!
* Instead of having a small celebration, each class will have a big party once a month to celebrate every child in that room whose birthday has fallen in that month Continue reading
We had an amazing Fun Day in St. Gabriel’s NS this year as part of our fundraising initiatives. All the children could wear their own clothes for the No Uniform Day and this started off the party atmosphere! Throughout the day everyone got to take part in Party Games, Playground Games and an Outdoor Disco where DJ (Mr) Donnelly had the whole school up and dancing. All of these activities were topped off with a visit from the Ice-Cream Van. What a fantastic day we all had!
Thank you to everyone who has returned their donation envelopes already and there is still time to send it back for anyone who has not had the chance yet.

All the classes have been taking turns to create and build with the Imagination Playground blocks. Each day they have been letting their imaginations run wild and working together to build everything from cat hotels to pirate ships!

Junior and Senior Infants recently went to the Phoenix Park to practise their athletics skills. While St. Gabriel’s NS will not have our whole school Sports Day this year, that did not stop the children from Ms. Leonard, Ms. Flahive and Mr. Whyte’s classes from trying out the Sack Race, Egg and Spoon and Sprint. As you can see they had a lot of fun!
