Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 English - Debating Deforestation ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1833.jpeg) 29 January 2024 We started our new English unit today which focuses on Debate. The debate will be all about the deforestation of the rainforest. In today’s lesson, we watched clips about deforestation and made notes on our whiteboards. Then we worked in groups to mind map what deforestation is and the impact it has on planet earth. Next we will highlight the points ‘for’ and ‘against’ ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_1833.jpeg) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1855.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-29-science-in-year-4-static-electricity) Previous ### [Science in Year 4 Static Electricity ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-29-science-in-year-4-static-electricity) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-17857A77-256C-461C-BEBA-91B29FCEA621(1).png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-30-year-3-scientists-making-maps-to-display-what-they-ve-learnt) Next ### [Year 3-Scientists making maps to display what they've learnt](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-30-year-3-scientists-making-maps-to-display-what-they-ve-learnt) ### 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/)
