We began the day by writing prayers for the new academic year, with children expressing their hopes for sharing love and kindness, supporting their families, and fostering a caring school community. We also built upon our school’s 4 B’s — Being Kind, Being Respectful, Being Safe, and Being Ready — with thoughtful ideas from the children, such as walking safely around the school and avoiding swinging on chairs. They practised lining up in alphabetical order with great enthusiasm and did an excellent job! In the afternoon, we explored our science unit on Light, where the children explored and compared natural and artificial light sources. It was a fantastic start to the year! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-2152B3E2-5A81-4780-B32F-1F278EC8C55D.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4421.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-02-staff-team-holy-communion-service) Previous ### [Staff Team Holy Communion Service](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-02-staff-team-holy-communion-service) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-7570D00E-162D-488A-B71C-AAC684EDA0FB.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-04-class-worship-how-can-communities-help-each-other-in-times-of-difficulty) Next ### [Class Worship- How can communities help each other in times of difficulty?](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-04-class-worship-how-can-communities-help-each-other-in-times-of-difficulty) ### 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/)
