4th & 5th Class’s Acrostic Poems about Autumn

Posted on by

An acrostic poem is a poem written 0using the first letters of the topic you are writing about. We have been studying poetry written about the season of Autumn. We have tried to write our own Autumn acrostic poems.  Check out some of the poems the children wrote this week in Mr Smyth’s class.

Autumn by Leon

Autumn is great,

Until the dark comes,

The birds be flying away,

Until the light comes the dark will fade away,

Me and you we go out and play,

Now we come in until the next day.

Autumn by Scott

Animals going asleep,

Under scattered leaves,

Thrown from the trees,

Until Spring comes around,

Month by month we wait,

Never ending weather.

Autumn by Destiny

All the leaves are falling,

Up high from the tress,

They are also dying which is very sad,

Up high where they are dying like a,

Mad contagious flu,

Next they will come back looking new!

Showing Kindness in Good Friend’s Week

Posted on by

Here in Saint Gabriel’s, we like to start each new school year off on the right foot. We always focus on how we can be good friend’s to one another during the first week of school. And we’ve gotten really great at that over the last few years.

 

So this year, our focus is on kindness. We are working hard to be kind to our friends and classmates, by doing things like sharing, welcoming our new classmates, helping each other out, and including everyone in our play.

We are also doing activities in our classes to practise new ways of being kind. It feels good to be kind to others and it’s a super way to start the new school year.

Junior Infants on Today FM

Welcome back to all our pupils, and a very special welcome to all our new pupils in Junior Infants and throughout the school. We are all looking forward to a fun year, learning lots of new things, playing, making new friends and trying our best in everything we do.

Junior Infants and their parents had a particularly special first day in Saint Gabriel’s. The children were interviewed by Helen Vaughan from Today FM. You can see lovely pictures, hear their fantastic interviews (they used lovely words!) and even see a short video of them settling into life in their new classroom.
