St. Gabriel’s FUN-draising Day!

Posted on by

We had an amazing Fun Day in St. Gabriel’s NS this year as part of our fundraising initiatives.  All the children could wear their own clothes for the No Uniform Day and this started off the party atmosphere!  Throughout the day everyone got to take part in Party Games, Playground Games and an Outdoor Disco where DJ (Mr) Donnelly had the whole school up and dancing.  All of these activities were topped off with a visit from the Ice-Cream Van.  What a fantastic day we all had!

Thank you to everyone who has returned their donation envelopes already and there is still time to send it back for anyone who has not had the chance yet.

 

3rd and 4th class present Fundraising cheque to Dublin Zoo

Posted on by

This year all of our pupils are visiting Dublin Zoo for our summer Trip. We are so lucky to have Dublin Zoo within walking distance of our school.

At Christmas we had our Panto and Popcorn day to raise funds to support Dublin Zoo, as they were having a very difficult time while the Zoo was closed due to Covid-19. We raised a superb €675. Miss O’Loughlin’s class were chosen to present the cheque to John, one of the wonderful zookeepers. It will be a great help to the zoo in feeding the many hungry animals there.

The classes are all really enjoying their trips to the zoo. Check out some of the pictures here from Miss O’Loughlin’s visit this week. They had a special treat watching the Red Pandas being weighed and fed.

Green Day Fun – Spórt agus Craic ar an Lá Glás

Posted on by

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.

Stay Safe Lesson Catch-up

In January 2020 teachers began teaching the Stay Safe Programme at all class levels. The school closures in March meant that teachers were unable to introduce all topics of the programme to children. The Department of Education has advised all schools to complete the teaching of the programme during this school year. In St. Gabriel’s N.S. teachers from senior infants to sixth class will teach the remainder of the programme to pupils between now and Christmas.
