Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Rev Ben’s Collective Worship ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0859.jpeg) 3 October 2024 In today’s collective worship, Rev. Ben began by engaging the children in an interactive challenge, where three children had to use two pieces of paper as stepping stones to cross the hall. This activity set the stage for the theme of the session: perseverance and trust in challenging times. Rev. Ben then shared the Bible story of Moses and the Israelites' long journey through the desert, highlighting the struggles and faith they experienced along the way. After listening to the story, the children were encouraged to reflect and discuss key questions: 'What did God's people do during their journey through the desert?' and 'What are some positive alternatives to complaining when things get tough?' These discussions helped the children connect the story to their own lives, exploring how patience, gratitude, and faith can guide them through difficult situations. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0859.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [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) [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2293.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-02-whole-school-worship-what-is-spirituality) Previous ### [Whole School Worship: What is Spirituality?](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-02-whole-school-worship-what-is-spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5270.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-03-creating-optical-illusions-year-4-art) Next ### [Creating Optical Illusions - Year 4 Art ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-03-creating-optical-illusions-year-4-art) ### 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/)
