Everyone welcome! # Reception: Muddy Monday ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_8761.jpeg) 3 March 2025 Our Reception class went to Whitehall park for the first time for their Muddy Monday session. They found pine cones, climbed trees, looked for minibeasts and made dens. The children loved exploring the area for their forest schools session and we can't wait to visit again soon. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_8761.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8739.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-03-collective-worship-the-start-of-lent) Previous ### [Collective Worship: The start of Lent](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-03-collective-worship-the-start-of-lent) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7080.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-03-netball-club-fun-in-the-sun) Next ### [Netball Club Fun in the Sun](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-03-netball-club-fun-in-the-sun) ### 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/)
