 Hello Everyone, 

 I hope you and your families are all well and are continuing to find new ways to have fun at home. It was lovely to be able to speak to some of you this week, it really made me feel good. I have made another game board for you to try. It has lots of things that you could do by yourself or with your siblings.

For those of you who have been able to access SeeSaw I hope you’re enjoying it! I’ve really enjoyed reading your responses. Mr.Donnelly will give you a hand if you are having any problems getting started. The HSCL number and email are on the school’s website.

During the week I was out for a walk and noticed that someone had been painting stones and leaving them around for people to see. It really put a smile on my face as I didn’t expect to see it. Maybe this is something you could do?

Try to get up and get out for fresh air as much as you can with your families. Keep lending a helping hand and be kind to one another.

Missing you all,

Ms. S

A big hello to all the lovely pupils of St. Gabriel’s NS!  I hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break.  I know most of you were out enjoying the lovely weather and I was lucky enough to see some pupils in the Phoenix Park getting some exercise with their parents and family.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is a sentence known as a pangram.  A pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet.  Check it and see!  There might be some letters that appear more than once, can you find out which ones?  Which letter appears the most?  Write out the sentence on your whiteboard or a piece of paper and cross out each letter as you go through the alphabet.  Could you make up your own pangram?  I’m going to have a go myself!

Try to keep up your reading.  It’s a great idea to read a book that you have read before and that you know well.  When I was in school my favourite books to read again and again were The BFG by Roald Dahl and The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.  For those of you who have PM readers at home, pick a book you already know and like and read it for someone.  Pick a different one every day this week and then try a new book that you haven’t read before on Friday.

And finally try to keep practising your Bumblebee Breath and your yoga poses.  The Cat is my absolute favourite at the moment!
