Science Week 2026 in St Gabriel’s NS

It was a fun filled Science Week in school this week.

3rd Class, both 4th Classes and 5th Class took part in a fantastic event in Technological University Dublin (TUD) called “Fizz, Pop, Freeze: The wonders of Water on, and beyond Earth”. The event was held in the beautiful Concert Hall in the Central Quad, TUD Grangegorman and the children really enjoyed the experience.

In Ms Fitzpatrick’s Senior Infants, the children have been busy with space exploration. You can see some lovely images below of them at work!

Mr Delaney’s 2nd Class took part in a dance themed workshop related to water called: “Move Like Water”

There are further events planned such as the “Water’s Journey in a Jar Workshop” for 4th Class in TUD in the coming weeks.

Finally, this Saturday, don’t forget the exciting workshop about water rockets:
