Everyone welcome! # Reception- Muddy Monday ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_5709.jpeg) 19 May 2025 Today during our Muddy Monday session, we went minibeast exploring in Jack’s Key. The children used magnifying glasses and Petri dishes to take a closer look at the amazing minibeasts our local area has to offer. They were excited to discover a variety of tiny creatures, including worms, spiders, and woodlice, carefully observing their features and movements. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_5709.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [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_5694.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-19-whole-school-worship-your-kingdom-come) Previous ### [Whole School Worship- Your Kingdom Come](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-19-whole-school-worship-your-kingdom-come) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8228.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-year-4-history-cause-or-consequence) Next ### [Year 4 History - Cause or Consequence? ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-year-4-history-cause-or-consequence) ### 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/)
