Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 Class Worship - Picture News - Is an e-reader better than a book? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1726.jpeg) 18 January 2024 In Class Worship this morning we focused on Picture News, which asked the question - Is an e-reader better than a book? A study from Spain found that print reading could boost skills by six to eight times more than digital reading. Our class was a complete split but the children discussed their ideas behind their choices and then looked at various ways in which we can read. We then looked at what we prefer to read and ordered these from favourite to least favourite. Reading messages from friends came top and reading instructions was our least favourite! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_1726.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/9c73cb3a-bd35-4e69-9af7-e21746f5d8a3(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-18-year-2-music) Previous ### [Year 2 - Music](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-18-year-2-music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1AA9BC36-92B4-4671-89CA-86253BC19FF3.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-18-year-1-phonics) Next ### [Year 1 Phonics ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-18-year-1-phonics) ### 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/)
