Paint & Colour in 3rd & 4th with Piet Mondrian

Posted on by

This month our art lessons are all about paint and colour and in maths we are learning about line and 2-D shapes so Piet Mondrian is the perfect artist of the month for us!

The girls and boys in 3rd and 4th have been learning about Mondrian and his art. Today they tried out making their own Mondrian piece playing with lines (vertical and horizontal) and making both squares and rectangles on their pages. Then using the primary colours only, they had some fun brightening up their pictures. Check out the pictures below!

Fire Safety Week 2021

Posted on by

We will all be learning about fire safety this week in St. Gabriel’s N.S. We hope to make sure that we all know how to be careful around fire and that we know what to do if there ever was a fire in school or at home. We’ll do this by practising our fire drill in school and we hope you will chat about what to do in the case of a fire at home.

We will remind ourselves and practice what to do if our clothes or Halloween costumes catch fire.

Many classes will learn how Dublin Fire Brigade are always there to help us. We will look at the work they do, the uniforms they wear and the equipment they need to do their jobs. This year children can help spread awareness of fire safety by entering Dublin Fire Brigade’s monthly colouring / drawing competition.
