Alice in Wonderland comes to St. Gabriel’s

Posted on by

Monday morning was very exciting this week for both the pupils and teachers of St. Gabriel’s when M & M Productions, an international theatre group, returned to put on another amazing show.  The production this year was Alice in Wonderland and this magical story was brought to life for all the children in a vivid and imaginative way.  Everyone really enjoyed the antics of The White Rabbit and The Mad Hatter and the only disappointment was when the show was over.  What a great way to start off the week!

Well done to the children in 2nd Class that made their First Holy Communion on Saturday May 9th.  They had worked very hard to prepare for this special day and were helped and supported by all their classmates.  Our wonderful choir on the day was made up from children from 2nd to 6th Class of all different religions and cultures and they certainly made the experience even more enjoyable!

Junior and Senior Infants Library

Posted on by

Junior and Senior Infants have started visiting the school library. It has been fantastic to have so many parents come in to help the children choose a book to take home.

While visiting the school library, the children are learning through the experience how a library works – how to borrow and return books and how to use their library cards.

The children are so enthusiastic about the visits to the library. They love talking about their books. Reading for fun is so important in helping the children develop a good attitude and love of reading, and there are so many lovely books to choose from in the school library.

Big thanks to everyone involved for making it such a success already.
