Everyone welcome! # Year 3- A visit to Nightingales Farm ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-64051D56-5409-465F-9EB0-262ED7D77E42.png) 14 December 2023 The children had an inspiring morning at Nightingales Farm today, where they saw pigs, goats, sheep, and many chickens. The children were set on a fun activity where they had to guess the number of chickens in the barn and were astonished to discover that they had over 400 chickens. They were fascinated to learn that a chicken's health could be determined by the colour of its comb – a red comb indicates good health and a peach comb chicken needs care. Steph, also assessed the children's understanding of their recent classroom lessons on bones, challenging them with questions about the human and animal skeletal system. The children displayed exemplary behaviour and respect, and actively participated in discussions about animal diets, demonstrating their keen interest and knowledge. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-64051D56-5409-465F-9EB0-262ED7D77E42.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/702DB044-70CF-4F23-8956-01F3A7309294.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-12-14-year-6-pshe-respecting-differences) Previous ### [Year 6 PSHE- Respecting differences](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-12-14-year-6-pshe-respecting-differences) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-AD9CA126-A8FB-403E-A0C5-EB3669916FB2.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-12-14-year-3-maths-making-equal-groups) Next ### [Year 3 - Maths- Making equal groups](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-12-14-year-3-maths-making-equal-groups) ### 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/)
