We learnt that during services the congregation like to dance around the Church to a lively song when they give their money, so we also danced around the church! Then the children enjoyed playing the African drums, shakers and tambourines to "King of me!" ![](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/images/news/0479e207-9e68-42d1-b8c1-138f0c5f7d3c.jpg) [Reception](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Music](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/music) [Church and Worship](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/church-and-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0386(1).JPG)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-05-07-reception-understanding-the-world-understanding-arrows) Previous ### [Reception - Understanding the World - Understanding Arrows](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-05-07-reception-understanding-the-world-understanding-arrows) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Screenshot_2024-05-09_09.48.54.png)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-05-09-year-6-revising-for-sats) Next ### [Year 6 Revising for SATs](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-05-09-year-6-revising-for-sats) ### Academy Life - [News](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/events) - [Clubs](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/basc) - [School Council](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Charities and Fundrasing](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/charities-and-fundraising) - ![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/)
