As part of Seachtain na Gaeilge, Mr Cullen’s Third Class and Ms Teeling’s Sixth Class came together for a lively céilí in the school hall. The students learned and enjoyed traditional Irish dances, including the Walls of Limerick and the Siege of Ennis. It was a fantastic opportunity for the older and younger classes to work together, celebrate Irish culture, and have great fun through music and dance. ☘️
We love books in St Gabriel’s NS so everyone is always very excited when World Book Day comes around every year! This year the children had a great time dressing up as literary characters and bringing their favourite books to school to share with friends. The junior, autism and moderate classes enjoyed some interactive story telling in the library and Bernie even used the book theme for our dance classes. Some classes designed book covers and bookmarks while others took part in quizzes. We can’t wait for next year.
St Gabriel’s has a visiting horticulturist from Heritage Ireland coming to help us with our school garden. Today 5th class were learning about the different plants growing in our garden and how to maintain them. 5th class enjoyed “growing” their understanding of all the wonders in our garden.
