Dear Parents/Guardians,
Over the last year and a half, we have had to make a number of changes in St. Gabriel’s NS to deal with the challenging times. One part of these changes that the children and staff have really enjoyed has been the chance to celebrate each child’s birthday in school, as birthday parties have been unable to take place as normal. This year we have some new plans for how these school celebrations will work!
* Instead of having a small celebration, each class will have a big party once a month to celebrate every child in that room whose birthday has fallen in that month Continue reading
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.
This gallery contains 20 photos.
All the classes have been taking turns to create and build with the Imagination Playground blocks. Each day they have been letting their imaginations run wild and working together to build everything from cat hotels to pirate ships!
The pupils from Ms Sweetman’s 5th and 6th class had a wonderful Sports Day this year. The event took place in the beautiful surroundings of the Law Society of Ireland grounds on Blackhall Place (a huge thank you to the staff for accommodating us).
There was soccer, tag rugby, handball, egg and spoon races, long distance running and sprints. The pupils had a brilliant day! Check out some of the photos below!
The children from 5th and 6th Class are very lucky this term as Ms. Delaney has been running a Mural Painting Club after school! The planning and prepping for painting was a great collaborative effort with lots of ideas and creativity flowing. As you can see they are really brightening up our courtyard with their beautiful painting.
This year due to Covid classes will not be able to go on any school tours which involve travelling on a bus or indoor activities.
However, St. Gabriel’s N.S. is so lucky to be located within walking distance of Dublin Zoo! All classes will be visiting the zoo this year for their school tours.
