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!

Tree Hunt in the Phoenix Park
Mr Smyth and 1st and 2nd class went for a nature walk in the Phoenix Park this week. We looked at the animals around us- Swans, Water Hens, Ducks and Squirrels and examined the trees in the park- Maple, Oak and Horse Chestnut trees. The children examined the colours of the leaves around them for their Art work this week and they discovered and collected leaves, branches and seeds from a number of trees.
