They met Olly the lamb who was only 7 weeks old and learned about his wool and other sheep at the farm. They also looked at some runner ducks who were just 2 weeks old! The children were so excited to see the ducklings running around with their long necks and were so gentle when they stroked them. They learned that these ducks can’t fly and can only swim once they have grown their feathers. The children asked lots of questions about animals on the farm. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/5FEA5FD9-5713-48D6-A84C-19C63923DE9A.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E2B1B9AE-A198-4F24-93E0-DA04C66A7D1B.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-10-year-6-class-worship) Previous ### [Year 6 Class Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-10-year-6-class-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/CE13706C-1BBB-41F7-B637-952FAC050F0A.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-10-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-10-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
