This means that we try and try and we never give up! We embrace challenges, persevere and take risks. We use the word ‘yet’ a lot when we don’t know something. For example I don’t know my five times tables yet- which means that we will know them after hard work, time and effort. If things are tricky we say. ‘This will take some time and effort.’ A mistake is celebrated in year 2 as it is a chance for us to learn! Growth mindset helps our brains to grow and become strong! ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/images/Screenshot-2020-11-20-at-17.13.55.png) Next ### [The Sleepy Giant – National Poetry Day 2020](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/blog/2020-10-07-15-45-00-the-sleepy-giant-national-poetry-day-2020) - ![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://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
