This week, we focused on Elizabeth I and how her portraits made her appear younger towards the end of her reign. This was because she wanted to be flattered, but she also wanted to be seen as a strong monarch, especially after the Spanish Armada. At this point, she took control of the portraits that were painted of her. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/B838A290-0279-43B9-8C28-3AEFFBB6E465.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/E713AED3-03C9-41B3-887E-BC0928773C10.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-09-25-year-2-art) Previous ### [Year 2 - Art](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-09-25-year-2-art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1162.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-09-26-year-5-reversible-and-irreversible-changes) Next ### [Year 5 - Reversible and Irreversible changes](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-09-26-year-5-reversible-and-irreversible-changes) ### 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/)
