Everyone welcome! # Year 2 - History ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/88D9F10E-3E91-4162-B63A-AAD848289E94.png) 11 January 2024 Our new History topic for this half term is Explorers! We began by looking at what an explorer is? What do they do? Why are they important? We also discussed the equipment that explorers may need in order to go on long, hard journeys. We touched on famous explorers that we will look in more detail at such as Christopher Columbus and Tim Peake. To finish we thought about where we would like to explore in the world. We had many ideas such as The African deserts, Antarctica and Mountains in Norway. We discussed what we might find in these interesting places. We then drew our rucksack full of the equipment we would need on our adventures. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/88D9F10E-3E91-4162-B63A-AAD848289E94.png) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B320B3F1-75E7-4BFF-AC5B-16A207AF9520.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-11-reception-pe) Previous ### [Reception PE ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-11-reception-pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0273.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-11-year-3-life-education) Next ### [Year 3- Life Education ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-11-year-3-life-education) ### 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/)
