Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # RotaKids- Year 5 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_6206.JPG) 12 July 2022 ROTAKIDS The children in year 5 have put their hearts and soul into RotaKids. Their dedication throughout this project has been immense and we are so proud of each and every one of them. They have expressed themselves with the utmost energy, enthusiasm, and determination. The role of a RotaKid is to raise funds to support local, national and international good causes. During Christmas, every year group sent a Christmas e-card to our local care homes. This was something that the Rotakids organised. They felt it was vital for everyone to receive a card on Christmas day because not everyone has a family. This certainly put smiles on their faces and a few happy tears. For the Spring term, we were given an Entrepreneurial Project. We were given £100.00 to start a small business the money was to be transferred back if we made any profit. This was a competition running between four schools. We were definitely in it to win it! The Rotakids came up with some great ideas. All of the ideas were planned during breaks. We successfully ran two movie nights, one for KS1 and KS2. This is something that we will most definitely consider doing again next year. The children absolutely loved it! Following on from this, we did ' Guess How Many Sweets In The Jar' which was a huge success. Some children had four or five guesses. Every child walked away with a treat and a smile. So for the final bit, we raised a total of £939.00! We came joint first. We were then able to buy outdoor equipment for KS1 and KS2 playtimes, board games for wet playtimes, and give a donation to Christian Aid, Macmillan Cancer Support and East Lancs Hospice. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_6206.JPG) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/fundraising) [RotaKids](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/rotakids) [Competitions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/competitions) [Courageous Advocacy](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1FCB5945-B562-4A7D-972F-06639DCB11B8.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-11-witton-athletics-winners) Previous ### [Witton Athletics Winners ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-11-witton-athletics-winners) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/C7838020-F6AF-4366-97D0-44FB3DCDBF17.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-year-4-dance) Next ### [Year 4 - Dance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-year-4-dance) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
