Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Year of Prayer ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_5291.jpeg) 30 April 2025 Today, Year 5 took part in their Year of Prayer, focusing on following the guidance given by Jesus. As part of the reflection, the children followed a series of lines and various markings on the playground that symbolised the path Jesus sets for us. This activity represented different aspects of His teachings—such as love, forgiveness and courage—encouraging the children to think deeply about how they can follow His example in their daily lives. This meaningful activity helped them reflect on the choices they make and how they can strive to live life in all its fullness—by showing kindness, compassion and remaining faithful to their values. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_5291.jpeg) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Worship Our Way](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship-our-way) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [Year of Prayer](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-1C0A50A8-59BB-4964-82AA-98AD06310E00.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-29-whole-school-celebration-living-life-to-the-full-afternoon-tea) Previous ### [Whole School Celebration-Living Life to the Full- Afternoon Tea](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-29-whole-school-celebration-living-life-to-the-full-afternoon-tea) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/904E3EB5-E7F3-420D-B4FF-4A5EF5EFA4F0.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-30-reception-practising-our-ball-skills) Next ### [Reception- practising our ball skills](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-30-reception-practising-our-ball-skills) ### 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/)
