Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship - Tourism - Should we be allowed to travel anywhere we like? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-C6EEB078-2615-45E1-8970-177FB3763C06.png) 12 February 2025 In class worship today, Year 3 explored the Christian value of respect, connecting it to the recent news about increased Everest climbing permit fees in Nepal. From September, peak season climbs will cost $15,000 (a 36% rise from $11,000), while off-season permits (Sept-Nov and Dec-Feb) will also increase by the same percentage, costing $7,500 and $3,750 respectively. These fees are a crucial source of income for Nepal, with climbing and trekking contributing over 4% to their economy. We discussed how our travel decisions impact the environment and the importance of responsible tourism that respects both the planet and its people, reflecting on what the Bible says about this. Children shared examples of local issues, like litter around Darwen Tower and how we should do our bit by not littering. We sang a hymn celebrating God's creation and asking for guidance in making thoughtful travel choices. A big thank you to Harry for leading our prayer, and to Lotti and Lyla for reading out facts about Everest climbers. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-C6EEB078-2615-45E1-8970-177FB3763C06.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/AFBBD3EE-A692-43AF-9CCB-1599F57816CA.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-1-year-of-prayer) Previous ### [Year 1- Year of Prayer](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-1-year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B8DFE7D3-31C7-40AD-8086-E7F6ED8A4E48.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-13-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) Next ### [Year 6 Music with Junior Jam](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-13-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) ### 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/)
