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!
The pupils from Ms Sweetman’s 5th and 6th class had a wonderful Sports Day this year. The event took place in the beautiful surroundings of the Law Society of Ireland grounds on Blackhall Place (a huge thank you to the staff for accommodating us).
There was soccer, tag rugby, handball, egg and spoon races, long distance running and sprints. The pupils had a brilliant day! Check out some of the photos below!
The children from 5th and 6th Class are very lucky this term as Ms. Delaney has been running a Mural Painting Club after school! The planning and prepping for painting was a great collaborative effort with lots of ideas and creativity flowing. As you can see they are really brightening up our courtyard with their beautiful painting.
This year due to Covid classes will not be able to go on any school tours which involve travelling on a bus or indoor activities.
However, St. Gabriel’s N.S. is so lucky to be located within walking distance of Dublin Zoo! All classes will be visiting the zoo this year for their school tours.

Walking on Air
When an individual puts his/her whole weight on one balloon, all of the pressure from that individual is concentrated on one small area of the balloon, which results in the balloon bursting.
When an individual’s weight is distributed over several balloons, the balloons do not burst because the pressure is spread over a large area. As a result, each balloon only supports a small fraction of the weight.
