This week they looked at a significant individual named Jack Banks. Jack was only 16 when he lost his life in the conflict and actually lied about his age in order to join the armed forces. Year 6 started the lesson by asking historical questions and then used a variety of sources: commonwealth war graves website, Darwen Heritage Centre research and newspaper articles to gain a better understanding of who Jack Banks was. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/F0A929B5-FF7D-4E30-9704-5B7C3E6423E2.jpeg) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/EB0C6956-4CE2-4E9B-A045-B0D076DEAECD.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-08-let-girls-play-campaign) Previous ### [Let Girls Play Campaign](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-08-let-girls-play-campaign) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/TUFZMTIwOTI0NDY2.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-10-school-closed-due-to-the-snow) Next ### [School closed due to the snow](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-10-school-closed-due-to-the-snow) ### 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/)
