Everyone welcome! # Year 3 English: The Last Bear ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/the_last_bear.JPG) 8 November 2022 This term, Year 3 will be writing their own adventure/mystery stories, based on the novel 'The Last Bear' By Hannah Gold. On Monday, we explored the text title and front cover and thought about what the main themes in the text might be. We then explored the setting of the story 'Bear Island'. We discussed whereabouts Bear Island may be located and explored the island, using google maps. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/the_last_bear.JPG) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Discussions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7722.JPG)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-07-geography-year-5) Previous ### [Geography- Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-07-geography-year-5) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/CBE8C0B9-3A10-439D-95FD-760B9EFA2CB9.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-09-librarian-club) Next ### [Librarian Club](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-09-librarian-club) ### 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/)
