Our hall was alive with energy as our pupils took part in a vibrant Lunar New Year Dance Workshop! To celebrate the Year of the Horse, the children didn't just learn about the Legend of the Great Race... They lived it! Through movement and choreography, they told the story of how the twelve animals of the Zodiac crossed the finish line. ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/year_2_-_dance_workshop.jpg) [Year 2](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [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/05ac610c-2b5a-4f41-95d4-6e88238e865c.jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-3-p-e-dance-workshop) Previous ### [Year 3 - P.E - Dance Workshop](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-3-p-e-dance-workshop) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/e0374a4f-7d65-48a6-8ba2-6b61e5e29130.jpeg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-16-year-1-history-comparing-toys-from-the-past) Next ### [Year 1 History Comparing Toys from the Past](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-03-16-year-1-history-comparing-toys-from-the-past) ### 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/)
