Outdoor Maths Trail for Junior Infants
Junior Infants and 5th and 6th Class went on another adventure to the Phoenix Park today, this time following a Maths Trail! Each group was tasked with finding lots of different items such as 3 pieces of bark, 7 leaves, 9 stones, 5 chestnuts, 12 twigs etc. The pupils also had to look out for any circles, triangles and squares in the environment and to make 2D shapes with the twigs and stones they found. The Junior Infants children were so enthusiastic that we all had a really fantastic time. Watch this space for more adventures throughout the year with these classes!
Maths Week Fun in St. Gabriel’s
There is a lot of excitement this week in St. Gabriel’s as we are celebrating Maths Week 2016. One of the pupils, teachers and parents favourite events took place on Tuesday when the whole school came together at the same time to play Maths Games. This year’s event was as enjoyable as ever and everyone was very proud that we broke our previous records for the amount of parents in attendance. All the pupils and staff appreciate the time that the parents gave up to come and be a part of the fun. There was a wonderful atmosphere of friendship and learning in the P.E. hall that was felt by all. Next up, the Tables Championship finals!!!!
