Maths Week Update!

Posted on by

Maths Week this year was as busy and fun as ever with lots of activities happening all around the school.  Junior and Senior Infants headed to the Phoenix Park for an adventure and got to do some Maths Trails too (photos to follow), while the other classes were busy carrying out their own trails around the school.  There was a lot of estimating, measuring, deciphering and counting going on everywhere.

In the Senior classes, the children took part in nail-bitingly tense Tables Championship finals, where the poor teachers had to keep going until they were down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.  Well done to all the children who took part.

Fire Safety Week

Posted on by

This week in St. Gabriel’s N.S. we are all learning about fire safety.

We are looking at how we can be extra careful in our homes and school to prevent a fire from beginning. We are learning what to do if ever there was a fire in our school or at home. We will practise our fire drill in school and we hope you will chat about what to do in the case of a fire at home.

Some things to remember are:

 

We’re also learning what to do if our clothes caught fire.

We’re learning to stop, drop and roll.

Many classes will learn about 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.

Halloween is a time when we need to be extra careful about fire as we may come across candles, costumes, fireworks and bonfires. We hope that learning about fire safety will ensure that we all keep extra safe this Halloween and in the future.
