Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- Celebrating Black History ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-0959E1AA-4BD5-486C-944E-1698EE6A0C18.png) 9 October 2024 During our class worship, we honoured Black History Month by exploring the remarkable life of Olaudah Equiano. Once enslaved, Equiano overcame extraordinary challenges to become a prominent abolitionist. We also celebrated the achievements of Nigel Clarke, a pioneering Black footballer, and Betty Campbell, the first Black headteacher in Wales. As we reflected on their inspiring stories, some children shared their aspirations and dreams, such as footballers, teachers, hairdressers and a doctor. We also discussed the resilience and determination it takes to overcome adversity, drawing inspiration from Betty Campbell's journey. We thanked God for providing us with opportunities for education, sports, and loving families. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-0959E1AA-4BD5-486C-944E-1698EE6A0C18.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Discussions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2358.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-08-whole-school-worship-courageous-advocacy) Previous ### [Whole School Worship: Courageous Advocacy](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-08-whole-school-worship-courageous-advocacy) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2124(1).png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-10-year-2-food-chains) Next ### [Year 2 - Food Chains](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-10-year-2-food-chains) ### 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/)
