Year 2 - Drumming
Year 2 have been enjoying learning drumming with Mr Navekar this half term. They have learnt lots of new skills, including keeping a beat, taking it in turns to repeat the pattern they have heard.
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!

Wake Up Wednesday - Roblox
Roblox is one of the most popular video games on the market. By 2020, the game’s makers were claiming that more than half of children in the USA play it. As a ‘sandbox’ title, Roblox offers a huge amount of creative freedom: it lets players create their own gaming experiences with the Roblox Studio to build custom levels and games, which can then be shared with other players online. Roblox fosters creative thinking and enjoys a robust online community of fans. In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as online daters, in-app purchases and contact with strangers. #WakeUpWednesday
