Everyone welcome! # Year 2 - Science ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/B94018A2-9892-453D-B76D-46BC3608C34E.png) 11 October 2023 This week in science, we continued our topic of ‘Animals including humans’. After investigating the importance of hygiene we investigated the importance of exercise. We discussed what exercise we do and how we could increase the amount of exercise we do each day. We explored the impact exercise has on our heart, lungs and flexibility. It was then time to see if we could see the effects exercise had on our body by getting outside and working hard. After participating in various exercises, we observed the effects it had on our bodies. We decided that our breathing got heavier and our heart started beating faster. The children then reflected on their investigation and recorded why exercise is important. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/B94018A2-9892-453D-B76D-46BC3608C34E.png) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/03C3285D-5255-4D9C-928B-1AED2928DF1D.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-11-year-6-art) Previous ### [Year 6 Art](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-11-year-6-art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/AB4E72E0-10E1-4E9A-AF7D-5A2897B4F12D.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-11-year-3-junior-jam-ukulele-s) Next ### [Year 3 - Junior Jam Ukulele’s ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-11-year-3-junior-jam-ukulele-s) ### 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/)
