World Book Day at St. Gabriel’s N.S.

All classes had a fantastic World Book Day in school recently. Thank you to all who organised and participated. Parents and guardians were invited into the school for tea & coffee and shared reading in all classes. There was a fantastic turnout!

Junior classes enjoyed a fantastic book trail which brought them around the school and included extracts from some of our favourite books. The school was decorated for the day with our own bunting showing our favourite books. All classes enjoyed extra reading time and other World Book Day activities from https://www.worldbookday.com/ Every child was also given a book token to go towards getting a book!

D7 mini-league @ Grangegorman

Senior students recently participated in soccer matches against North Dublin Muslim School and St. Mary’s N.S. at the TUD Grangegorman campus.

Students on the girls and boys 5 a-side teams played well and had lots of fun. Both teams won one match and lost the other.

We hope to have a repeat of the fixtures soon in Inspire Fitness Cabra, where overall results will be decided.

Shared Reading for World Book Day

The school will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday the 2nd of March. As part of this, we are inviting a parent, guardian or family member to the school to participate in a shared-reading session in your child’s class. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend some reading time with your child in school.
 
Books are a fantastic way for you to spend quality time with your child. They are also essential in developing literacy, creativity and imagination. We promote this through our year-long weekly library for all classes, among other initiatives.
 
After some light refreshments in the hall, you will be invited to your child’s classroom where you can read a book, listen to a story or take part in some fun book-related activities. The hall will be open from 8.50am and we can bring you to your child’s class at 9.15am.

Hope to see you there!
