We got to explore the Lunar New Year in a creative way and learn moves to tell a story through dance. Year 4 were very good at remembering the moves for each different animal and were even better when given the choice to move in the way of their chosen animal. The final performance was fantastic to watch - well done, Year 4! ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/e0630f62-e47d-466f-810b-08b080be6443(1).jpg) [Year 4](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Music](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/music) [PE](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/adb29b81-29f5-4fbc-b9c0-4f65125368d3.jpeg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-06-world-book-day-reading-cafe) Previous ### [World Book Day Reading Cafe](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-06-world-book-day-reading-cafe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/05ac610c-2b5a-4f41-95d4-6e88238e865c.jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-3-p-e-dance-workshop) Next ### [Year 3 - P.E - Dance Workshop](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-3-p-e-dance-workshop) ### 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/)
