Green Day Fun – Spórt agus Craic ar an Lá Glás

This year in St. Gabriel’s NS we chose the day before St. Patrick’s Day to hold our Lá Glás (Green Day).  In the morning we certainly got a lot of exercise when we had our Céilí Mór outside in the playground.  Some amazing dance moves were on display, especially from Second Class!  Everyone has been making an extra special effort to speak cúpla focail as Gaeilge (a few words in Irish) for Seachtain na Gaeilge and each class enjoyed an Irish movie and popcorn to wind down after the all the excitement.

 

 

2nd Class After School Club

2nd class have been busy every Wednesday after school for the last couple of weeks, having fun in Ms O’Dowd’s variety after school club.

They have enjoyed doing a range of fun activities. This week they were exploring colour with paint in art.

Thanks to Ms O’Dowd and Pauline for giving their time to this free after school club.
