We used Oreo’s to demonstrate the phases of the moon, we went inside the dark tent to explore the phases using a torch and, finally, the children demonstrated their Youtube video skills and recorded themselves explaining how the rotation of the Earth gives day and night. ### Autumn term: Science [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1191.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1191.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1195.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1195.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1197.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1197.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1205.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1205.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1213.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1213.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1229.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1229.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1239.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1239.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1240.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1240.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1297.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1297.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1303.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1303.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1305.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1305.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1306.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/gallery/autumn-term-science/IMG_1306.jpg) Previous ### [Gymnastics in Year 5](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/blog/2020-11-20-13-11-00-gymnastics-in-year-5) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Screenshot-2020-11-23-at-17.06.51.png)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/blog/2020-11-23-15-27-00-history-the-great-fire-of-london) Next ### [History - The Great Fire of London](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/blog/2020-11-23-15-27-00-history-the-great-fire-of-london) - ![School Games Gold](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Gold_Logo_25-26(1).png) - ![Healthy school](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/healthy_school.png) - ![Picture News](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/6_Years_of_Picture_News.png) - ![AP smilestar](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Screenshot_2026-07-27_10.26.27.png) ##### Location St James Crescent Darwen Lancashire BB3 0EY ##### Contact Us 01254 703260 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Darwenstjames) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/darwenstjames/) © Copyright 2021–2026 Darwen St James’ C of E Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
