We learnt that Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922. Due to the tomb being sealed for thousands of years, toxic gases remained which made it difficult for Howard Carter to describe what he could see. The children worked in groups and took turns to 'enter the tomb' (our own blackout tent!) and report back to their group what they could see. They absolutely loved crawling under the tables, as if they were crawling into the tomb! \#enjoy #embrace #evolve [ Plant disssetion](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2024-06-17-20-28-48-plant-disssetion) [Reception- Recycling ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2024-06-20-10-21-35-reception-recycling) ![Delph Side Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(10).png) #### Delph Side Community Primary School Eskdale Tanhouse Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 6ED 01695 721881 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted Report](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [Term Dates](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/Delph-Side-Community-Primary-School-584597861558880/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/delphside/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Delph Side Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
