Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship: Paralympic Values ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2112.jpeg) 9 September 2024 We began our Monday worship with a race this week, except the race wasn’t very fair. One person was running the race, one was hopping and one was blindfolded. We discussed why this wasn’t a fair race and then we watched some athletes’ performances from the Paralympics. We were amazed to see people with no arms playing the piano, flying aeroplanes, brushing their teeth and driving cars etc and then we reflected on how we can learn from the Paralympians and have a 'yes, I can' attitude. We learned about the Olympic and Paralympic values and how some of the values are the same or similar to our Christian Values., We discussed how we can do anything with hard work, determination and self-belief and read in the Bible that with God, all things are possible. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2112.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/DAFE5EE1-AC4A-4152-BD35-023D6414734B.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-06-reception-courageous-climbers) Previous ### [Reception - Courageous Climbers!](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-06-reception-courageous-climbers) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B66C1E15-87FF-40B2-9EBC-E5DA297A2340.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-09-reception-our-first-lunchtime) Next ### [Reception: Our First Lunchtime](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-09-reception-our-first-lunchtime) ### 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/)
