Everyone welcome! # Reception: Healthy Minds ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2251.jpeg) 7 May 2024 In PSHE, our Ducklings discussed how we can keep our minds healthy. We explored the 5 ways to wellbeing: mindfulness, staying connected, being active, trying something new and giving to others. Hollie suggested we could play with our friends, Callie said we could dance, Haydn said that playing outside will help us to feel good, Alayna said we could talk, Percy said try a new sport and Vienna suggested and could make food for people. We then took part in a mindfulness session using peer massage. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2251.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Rhyme Time](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/rhyme-time) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3236(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-03-dt-food-technology-basic-biscuit-making) Previous ### [DT - Food Technology - Basic Biscuit Making ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-03-dt-food-technology-basic-biscuit-making) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0868.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-08-year-2-pe) Next ### [Year 2 - PE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-08-year-2-pe) ### 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/)
