This week, we looked into how we know we are alive and how do we know when things are dead. We discussed our ideas of things we thought are alive such as farm animals and humans. We then went further to talk about how plants are alive because they grow and reproduce. This was very tricky but the children tried really hard to challenge their thinking. We then went outside to find things that are alive, dead and things that have never been alive. We then came back into class and created a list of things we had found or other ideas that were alive, dead or have never been alive. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/6EE6772C-0F34-4450-A2FC-7B40C52E1EBE.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/activitymore-ACFCC66F-DEEF-4C8E-8218-60EE10D93ACA.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-02-year-3-school-council-meeting) Previous ### [Year 3- School Council Meeting](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-02-year-3-school-council-meeting) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1443.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-02-year-5-maya-gods) Next ### [Year 5 - Maya Gods](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-02-year-5-maya-gods) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
