Everyone welcome! # Year 1- Year of Prayer (Paper Planes) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/F99C5410-614F-48EA-97BB-4DF74B34F14C.jpeg) 27 February 2025 This week’s prayer challenge focused on teaching the children a way of letting go of their worries. To do this, the children drew pictures of their worries on paper such as the worry they feel when leaving their mummy and daddy, worries about things that we can’t always control such as fires and war and worries about getting things wrong. The children then threw the paper planes as a way of saying goodbye to their worries so that they could feel happier and calmer. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/F99C5410-614F-48EA-97BB-4DF74B34F14C.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [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_8474.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-27-reception-visit-to-imagine-that) Previous ### [Reception Visit to Imagine That](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-27-reception-visit-to-imagine-that) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-040DAC17-C900-474F-9F18-EF1E955AEB99.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-28-year-3-r-e-explore-how-jesus-changes-lives-and-research-the-life-story-of-mother-teresa) Next ### [Year 3- R.E-Explore how Jesus changes lives and research the life story of Mother Teresa.](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-28-year-3-r-e-explore-how-jesus-changes-lives-and-research-the-life-story-of-mother-teresa) ### 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)
