Reflecting on this through the lens of "windows, doors, and mirrors" in spirituality, the teenagers' story served as a "window" into the needs of others and the power of innovation. We then considered the everyday items that ease our own lives, such as the convenience of a hairdryer, the ready access to running water, and the efficiency of an air fryer. This reflection acted as a "mirror," prompting us to appreciate the impact of even simple solutions on the quality of life. Inspired by the teenagers' creativity, which we saw as an open "door" of possibility, Year 3 resolved to embark on our invention journey, recognising our potential to make a positive difference in the world. This experience connected with the Christian value of hope and the biblical message of using our creativity to serve others. Isaac led a prayer thanking God for inspiring ideas and creative minds, emphasising the importance of using our abilities to make a positive impact, even through small acts of kindness and imagination. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-58CAC4A8-9C35-4E59-9697-8DCAEE8DA8F5_(1).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) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Design Technology](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Barney-s_Best_Bits_(3).png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-09-barney-s-best-bits-summer-1-week-3) Previous ### [Barney's Best Bits- Summer 1 Week 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-09-barney-s-best-bits-summer-1-week-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0972(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-12-reception-collective-worship) Next ### [Reception: Collective Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-12-reception-collective-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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
