Now we’re watching for *germination* — that magical moment when a seed wakes up, splits open, and the first little root begins to grow! We’ll be checking our plants each day to see how they change — maybe a new shoot, a taller stem, or leaves reaching for the light. I’m wondering… will we spot any tiny scientific surprises when we’re back in school tomorrow? Our little botanists can’t wait to find out! ### Year 1 science [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112436941_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112436941_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112506319_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112506319_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112550322_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112550322_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112654150_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112654150_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112739406_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112739406_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112804717_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-1-science/20260115_112804717_iOS.jpg) [ Little Red Riding Hood ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-18-17-20-little-red-riding-hood) [Multiplication ‘Mazing ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-18-22-21-multiplication-mazing) ![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/)
