Everyone welcome! # Year 1-Year or Prayer- Knots (Thinking About Our Fears and Worries) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0939.jpeg) 21 May 2025 This week, the theme for the Diocesan Year of Prayer, 1 is ‘Knots’. For this, Year 1 had to think about the fears and worries that they experience whilst tying a knot into a ribbon. Year 1 shared worries such as moving into a new classroom with a less familiar teacher, hearing loud noises, our pets or family being poorly, being told off for not making the right choice and coming face to face with scary creatures such as spiders or crocodiles. To symbolise letting go of these worries, Year 1 undid their knot whilst asking God to take away these worries and fears. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0939.jpeg) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year of Prayer](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8245.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-bwd-schools-bee-stinger-netball-champions) Previous ### [BwD Schools Bee Stinger Netball Champions ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-bwd-schools-bee-stinger-netball-champions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-44B9431E-A278-40FB-B077-EFE42664AB95.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-3-understanding-the-risks-staying-safe-online) Next ### [Year 3- Understanding the Risks: Staying Safe Online](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-3-understanding-the-risks-staying-safe-online) ### 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/)
