Before filling in the animal template, the budding artists carried out a warm-up activity. They practised shading boxes from dark to light using an HB pencil. They aimed to create smooth, neat, and even shading without any gaps. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-A8F48961-09DB-482C-B1FE-AA107C1D4F75.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/gallery/harvest-church-service-2023/IMG_2963.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-19-harvest-church-service-2023) Previous ### [Harvest Church Service 2023](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-19-harvest-church-service-2023) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E3A9CD73-A1FE-47AD-BCED-4D2277183884.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-31-year-2-english) Next ### [Year 2 English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-31-year-2-english) ### 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/)
