Everyone welcome! # Year 3- PSHE- Lyfta- Know Yourself, Grow Yourself: Exploring Mental Health and Aspirations Through Malahat’s Story ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-2AF1A74F-931C-413B-8B3D-79A876E7A334.png) 5 February 2025 Today in class, our Year 3 students joined hundreds of other schools in a live Lyfta session, exploring the theme "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself" and the importance of children's mental health through the inspiring story world Dancing in the Land of Fire. During this engaging 45-minute session, our students, alongside thousands of their peers, reflected on self-awareness and well-being, inspired by the journey of 11-year-old Malahat, who dreams of becoming a world-famous dancer and building a new home for her family in Baku. The children were fascinated to learn about Azerbaijan, particularly its vibrant capital, Baku. Through this experience, they gained a deeper understanding of mental health, resilience, and self-growth. The session encouraged them to think about their own dreams, emotions, and personal strengths, helping to build their confidence and empathy. It was a valuable opportunity for them to develop a global perspective while also reflecting on their own well-being and aspirations. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-2AF1A74F-931C-413B-8B3D-79A876E7A334.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3849.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-05-year-4-linking-schools-zoom-meeting) Previous ### [Year 4 - Linking Schools: Zoom Meeting](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-05-year-4-linking-schools-zoom-meeting) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/50FFF187-EF73-4016-AE48-ED8914EFA895.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-6-junior-jam-french) Next ### [Year 6 Junior Jam - French](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-6-junior-jam-french) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
