The children had a problem tree and a solution tree that they had to complete. They discussed what caused rubbish, the effects rubbish had on the environment and what sort of rubbish they saw around them and then wrote these onto the problem tree. Using the solution tree they came up with different ideas on how they could change things. They decided that things that would help would be workshops in schools about how rubbish affects us , volunteering in your local area litter picking and changing the packaging on some items. ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/Screenshot_2024-12-17_15.16.22.png) [Year 3](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Courageous Advocacy](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Collage_2024-12-16_14_58_00.jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-12-16-year-2-art-and-design-sketching-natural-objects-by-the-way-they-feel) Previous ### [Year 2 Art and Design - Sketching Natural Objects By the Way They Feel](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-12-16-year-2-art-and-design-sketching-natural-objects-by-the-way-they-feel) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Collage_2024-12-17_10_00_08.jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-12-18-pre-school-pshe-taking-turns-and-sharing) Next ### [Pre-School- PSHE-Taking Turns and Sharing ](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-12-18-pre-school-pshe-taking-turns-and-sharing) ### 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/)
