Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1- Year of Prayer ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/9AAA86F0-5BF7-4869-A17F-BFCD4CBE1565.jpeg) 6 February 2025 This week’s theme for the Year of Prayer is praying through the use of a ‘Prayer Band’. Year 1 have enjoyed drawing people that they would like to pray and thank God for such as their mummy, daddy, grandparents, siblings and pets. Some children also chose to draw and think about the wider community such as people who are sick in hospital, those who are in the midst of war and refugees who are having to flee their homes. Whilst saying their prayer, the children held on to their prayer band. We are really enjoying learning about lots of new ways in which we can pray. Well done Year 1! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/9AAA86F0-5BF7-4869-A17F-BFCD4CBE1565.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Year of Prayer](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4575.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-5-children-s-mental-health-week) Previous ### [Year 5 - Children’s Mental Health Week](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-year-5-children-s-mental-health-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-CFD9EB45-251D-47C7-AC78-71CF7BA5FF3E.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-meet-our-science-ambassadors) Next ### [Meet Our Science Ambassadors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-06-meet-our-science-ambassadors) ### 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/)
