Good Friends Week
Welcome back to a new school year. This year, the focus for Good Friends Week is on how we greet each other. One of the easiest ways that we can be friendly to others is by saying ‘Hello’ to those we meet each day. This week the children in St. Gabriel’s will make an extra effort to show how friendly they are by greeting the people they meet in our school and at home.
Each class will explore some of the many ways we can greet others such as by smiling, waving, saying ‘good morning’, ‘hi’, ‘hello’ etc. We are very lucky to have lots of children who have family from all corners of the world. These children will help us to learn how people greet each other and say hello in other languages all over the world. When greeting someone we will try to remember to look at the person, smile and use their name. We will also make sure that we can respond appropriately when somebody says ‘hello’ to us.
As usual, each class will draw up their class charter during Good Friends Week. They will use these as important guides to help ensure that each classroom is a friendly, safe and productive place to be this year.
Mr. Flanagan’s 5th and 6th class will greet their new buddies in Junior Infants this week. They will have a friendly ‘hello’ for Junior Infants and look forward to introducing them to lots of games and fun activities on the playground during the week.
As we have the freedom to open our doors and welcome parents and families back into the school, we look forward to using our greetings during assemblies, seasonal performances and other fun events in the school throughout the school year.
Summer Performance
The school’s Summer Show took place on the stage yesterday 14th June in our school hall .
The children performed a fantastic range of songs, poems and dances for a huge and enthusiastic audience.
Well done to all the performers and a massive thank you to all the parents and guardians who came along to support the children. A raffle took place too- congratulations to all the winners!
Congratulations to our debating team!
Well done to the St. Gabriel’s NS Debating Team who won the Blackhall Place Inter-Schools Debate on Monday the 13th of June in the Law Society.
They debated against St. Paul’s Brunswick Street in the final. The motion was “Social Media is a benefit to primary school children” and St. Gabriel’s NS opposed it.
They worked very hard, made some great arguments and won the tournament.
Well done!
St. Gabriel’s local history corner
Enjoy this little piece of St. Gabriel’s and Stoneybatter history which details the schools early involvement and successes in Dublin GAA. Some wonderful characters and places are referenced in here, which provides a wonderful insight into how our school and local area was nearly 100 years ago.
You can continue the local association with GAA with your children at St. Brendan’s GAA club in Grangegorman. You can contact them for training times here or secretary.stbrendans.dublin@gaa.ie and details of their summer camps are here.
