To start our learning, we went on a local walk to hunt for human and physical features in our school's neighbourhood. The children did a fantastic job spotting everything from trees and grass (physical) to fences, roads, and buildings (human)! Next week, we will be using our brilliant fieldwork notes to create our very own maps before we start comparing our local area to the bustling city of Shanghai! A huge well done to Year 1 for their excellent behaviour and sharp eyes today. Check out some photos from our busy afternoon! \#Year1 #PrimaryGeography #Fieldwork #LocalArea #SchoolCommunity![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_8660.jpeg) [Year 1](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/year-1) [Geography](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/geography) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8578.jpeg)](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/2026-06-01-new-active-uniform) Previous ### [New Active Uniform! ](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/2026-06-01-new-active-uniform) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/6bad2ca8-b236-4dc4-b999-c1c7562cea8a.jpeg)](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/2026-06-09-year-1-computing-to-know-what-technology-is-around-school) Next ### [Year 1 - Computing - To Know What Technology is Around School](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news/2026-06-09-year-1-computing-to-know-what-technology-is-around-school) ### Academy Life - [News](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/news) - [Events](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/events) - [Clubs](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/academy-life/basc) - [School Council](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/academy-life/attendance) - [Charities and Fundrasing](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/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://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
