Cassidy did a fantastic job teaching the children Makaton signs, and they were excited to learn new ways to communicate with Lenny, Cassidy’s little brother, who has Down syndrome. The children were fully engaged as they explored different ways to connect and communicate with individuals with Down syndrome. As part of our celebration, we learned about common misconceptions surrounding Down syndrome and took time to recognise and celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of individuals with Down syndrome. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-17CE0A57-63D6-4B24-95B1-12E09ADFCCD8.png) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [SEND](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/send) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4989.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-5-structure-of-the-earth) Previous ### [Year 5 - Structure of the Earth ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-5-structure-of-the-earth) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_9329.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-24-collective-worship-year-of-prayer-and-singing-worship) Next ### [Collective Worship: Year of Prayer and Singing Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-24-collective-worship-year-of-prayer-and-singing-worship) ### 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/)
