Junior Infants and 3rd Class recently came together for some Buddy Reading time. They shared some interesting, funny and exciting stories and made new friends along the way!
With World Book Day coming up on March 7th, the children in St. Gabriel’s NS will be looking forward to even more shared reading time together.
The children from 3rd Class were asked to be a part of a new project for the National Museum of Ireland in Collins Barracks.
This involved taking part in an interesting workshop called If Things Could Talk, where the children got to handle and examine different artefacts from days gone by. While doing this, they were filmed by a team of camera people. The museum are now using this footage to help inform schools around Ireland about the different workshops and tours that the museum has to offer.

Today M&M Theatrical Productions brought the magic of theatre to our school with a wonderful performance of Snow White. The children really enjoyed the show and even some teachers got involved dancing with the cast.
Today, 3rd and 4th Class visited the wonderful Andy Warhol exhibit in the Hugh Lane Gallery. They had a brilliant time and are really inspired to try out some new art back in school. Check out the photos below.
All classes have been busy this week working on class charters. Everyone created fantastic charters and children from each class shared these at assembly today. Class charters are a great way to make sure everyone is happy, safe and learning in school. Well done everyone!
We had a great Good Friends Week! We tried to share a smile as much as we could and chatted about how we can be a good friend to others. Below are some children from each class that made an extra special effort to be a good friend this week. Well done to all! Thanks to Ms Leonard for organising.
It’s September again and for our first full week back in school we celebrate Good Friends Week. Our theme for this year is ‘Share a Smile’. It is amazing the power a smile can have. Smiling can help us to feel positive and happy as well as brighten up someone’s day.
Our return to school is always a very special time as we reunite with classmates and also welcome new pupils to our school. Pupils in St. Gabriel’s always make every effort to welcome and include new pupils and staff to our school. A smile is one way to help everyone feel welcome and happy.
During Good Friends Week, classes will draw up their class charters. They will use these as important guides to help ensure that each classroom is a friendly, safe and productive place to be in this year.
Our sixth-class pupils will greet their new buddies in Junior Infants. They will share lots of friendly smiles and introduce Junior Infants to games and fun activities on the playground during the week.
We will award prizes to children in each class who make an extra effort to share a smile throughout the week.
How many smiles will you share?
