Santa Claus pays a visit to St. Gabriel’s
We had a very special visitor to St. Gabriel’s this week.
Santa Claus came to visit on Wednesday. He said he had heard that we are the best school in Dublin with the best boys and girls. And he’s right!
He very kindly gave a gift of a book to every single boy and girl in the whole school. He reminded the children how reading is so important and also lots of fun.
We were very impressed that Santa has been learning Irish too, and was able to use his cúpla focail. He was very impressed with the good manners of the children throughout the school in English and in Irish.
Wishing all the children and their families a very happy Christmas.
School reopens Monday 8th January at 8:50am

Quavers to Quadratics in the National Concert Hall
The pupils from 5th and 6th Class recently took part in Quavers to Quadratics, a collaborative initiative between the National Concert Hall, Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin. The programme is centred around enabling primary school children to explore the overlap between science and music.
The children spent the whole day in the National Concert Hall taking part in three different workshops, (1) Seeing Sound, (2) Feeling Sound and (3) Creating Sound. Every pupil was really engaged in the different activities and had a fantastic day.
Tables Championship Finals!
One of the most popular events every year in Maths Week in St. Gabriel’s is the Tables Championship. Pupils from 1st to 3rd Class battle it out to become the junior champion, and those from 4th to 6th Class compete for the senior crown. In a tense final, Ms. McLoone had to keep adding more and more difficult sums until the winners finally emerged. Well done to all involved!
Maths Week 2017
Maths Week Ireland took place in October of this year all around the country and as usual the children in St. Gabriel’s took part in many different activities, from Maths trails and Maths games to our first ever Maths Week Table Quiz. Thank you to all the parents who came along to take part in the events. The most important goal of Maths Week is that the children have fun while learning and we all agreed that this was definitely true!
Buddies Trip to the Phoenix Park
Junior Infants and their buddies in Fifth and Sixth Class went on a trip to the Phoenix Park last week.
We followed a trail around the park as part of the Outdoor and Adventure Activities strand for P.E., going around the pond, up the hill, around the flower beds and through the trees. After that we looked for different types of leaves, such as oak and sycamore, and then everybody collected lots of conkers and acorns. Finally we were lucky to see some of the swans and their cygnets as we were about to leave the park.
The Junior Infants children loved having their buddies to look after them and help them find lots of interesting things. The two classes are looking forward to another trip very soon!
