The Gunpowder Plot - Y2
Year 2 have been learning about Parliament today and watched a video about the Gunpowder Plot. We have created our own rockets but we haven't used any gunpowder!
Photography Day
Next Wednesday 10th November is school photograph day. This year we are using a new photography company called "Memories Made". They have done the recent photographs for our new website as well our school video's and are an excellent photographer! On the day there will be individual and sibling photographs as well as class photographs. *Please note that we will not be doing sibling photo's for children outside of school this year, just sibling's that attend St James'. Once the photographs are taken, your child will receive a unique code. You can the access your photographs from their website and order direct from there. Prices start from just £2.00 for individual photo's and there are various packages available. Perfect for Christmas gifts too!

Making Shoes - Y1
Year 1 had a great afternoon making shoes that could have been worn in Jesus’ time.
Library Visit - Y4
We loved our visit to Darwen Library today! We learned all about how a library works and enjoyed looking at all the different books. We all borrowed a book to keep at school. Those who brought back their form to become members will get their library cards by the end of the week so you can go back and choose a book to enjoy at home.
Winter Lunch Menus
Our new winter lunch menus commence on Monday 1st November, thank you to Mrs Stuttard and her team for creating these delicious meals. They will certainly keep us warm and well fuelled during the winter months. You can have a sneaky peak here https://darwenstjames.co.uk/parents/useful-links/school-meal-information.
Y2 Designing and Making Fire Engines.
Year 2 have been busy making their fire engines. They have followed their design and added features including hoses and ladders.
Y2 Light Investigation
We completed a light investigation in science this week. We received an email from a scientist explaining his methods and his results, however we found he had made a few mistakes. We then explored the resources and completed the test ourselves before writing an e-mail back to him with some ideas to help in complete a fair test in the future.
Half Term!
Just a reminder that school finishes for half term holidays on Thursday 21st October at 3:15. We re-open on Monday 1st November at 08:55. Thank you!
Wednesday Worship - Achieving our Goals.
Our Worship this morning was lead by Rev Rebecca. She showed us that it is easier to reach our goals if we have help. This help may come from God, our family, our teachers or our friends.
