Year 4 - An Action Packed Week.
Year 4 have had another busy and action packed week. Some of our highlights this week include: identifying and finding plants, spending our tokens in our first ever visit at the school's shop, being a human boat in a storm (!) and finding historical evidence to decide whether Theseus and the Minotaur really did happen.
Darwen St James Pop Up Shop
The Darwen St James’ shop is ready for tomorrow! Children can buy exciting goodies using the tokens they have earned for good attendance, punctuality and home reading. They can buy smaller toys or save up for some bigger items, books and games. Look out for some “star” items in the shop later in the term. We can’t wait to see the children spend their tokens tomorrow! The shop will be open every Friday throughout the year.
Football
Super proud of our football team tonight who played in their first match of the season! Despite not winning, they showed great resilience and a growth mindset! Well done!
