Everyone welcome! # Mrs Ham’s Weekly Message ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/72C6FB80-DAEB-478D-9447-C23C34319380.jpeg) 12 May 2023 Good evening parents and carers, it’s been a short but very tiring week, especially for our Year 5 and 6 children. We are so proud of our Year 6 children for the confidence and resilience they have shown this week when tackling their SATS. They have been amazing and having their breakfast together each morning really helped them to relax. We will find out the results on the 12th July but whatever the outcome, we know that they have all tried their best and have done themselves proud. Year 5 had a fantastic time at their residential. Thank you so much to Miss Kachwalla, Miss Lyons and Miss Woods for giving up their time to support the children on their super trip. It’s been lovely to hear about their favourite parts and they have made memories that will last a life time.

The ‘quizzes’ will be taken in small groups with Mr Bloomfield in our rainbow room. We wish them lots of luck and know that they will shine. For all the other news from this week, including a mock baptism in Year 1, our super netball team and hunting for natural materials in Year 3, please click here: https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news I hope that you all are able to enjoy the sunshine this weekend. Thank you for your continued support, Mrs Ham [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/4106F0BA-AAB0-4A1E-9A2F-735AB450C6D4.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-12-year-5-class-worship-eurovision) Previous ### [Year 5 - Class Worship Eurovision ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-12-year-5-class-worship-eurovision) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/89C40687-FAB8-4276-A116-73B28317A603.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-12-westholme-high-5-s-netball-competition-winners) Next ### [Westholme High 5’s Netball Competition Winners ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-12-westholme-high-5-s-netball-competition-winners) ### 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/)
