To start, we discussed what we already knew. We then gathered a range of items and investigated if they would float or sink. We made predictions about what would happen, and named some of the materials the items were made out of. We really enjoyed putting the items into the water to check if they would float or sink. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/D03C6FF6-8C2F-4574-B4AF-47CC246606A1.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0DD1C832-FE41-4CF7-A8B8-3B68BF12E34B.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-09-year-2-building-bridges) Previous ### [Year 2 - Building bridges](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-09-year-2-building-bridges) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-B0C0D3E8-E47C-4172-AD07-FE17B98392AE.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-09-year-5-collective-worship) Next ### [Year 5- Collective Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-09-year-5-collective-worship) ### 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/)
