Space Week: Pupils to speak to astronaut aboard the International Space Station

Posted on by

Space Week, which runs for the week beginning the 2nd October, will see pupils across the school take place in STEM workshops, art competitions, poetry competitions and much more. It will culminate in an historic event on Friday, when two pupils from St Gabriel’s NS, alongside pupils from across Dublin, will pose questions to astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli aboard the International Space Station.

We are extremely proud of both Taha and Fatma and wish them all the very best this Friday. The event will be live streamed for all to watch along.

History comes alive for pupils at 14, Henrietta Street

Posted on by

The children in Mr Smyth’s 4th Class had a wonderful visit to 14, Henrietta Street, as part of their History lessons about homes in the past and about life in the past in tenement Dublin.

During the visit the children took a trip through time from the 1700’s as a home for some Dublin’s wealthiest families, in this case Lord Viscount Molesworth and his wife through to the 1900s when over 100 people lived in camped tenement conditions there.

Good Friends Week

Posted on by

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?
