Everyone welcome! # Year 2 - Literacy Workshop at Darwen Library ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4004.png) 10 June 2025 On Tuesday afternoon, Year 2 students were very fortunate as they had the opportunity to attend a workshop by Donovan Christopher at Darwen Library. Donovan is a rapper, singer, author, and poet all in one, and the children got to see a little bit of everything he can do. As a whole class, we created a rap with instruments and rhymes, which was amazing. Then Donovan read some of his favourite poems to us and allowed some children to read them to the whole class. It was amazing to see the children participate in something they wouldn’t normally and learn new skills along the way. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_4004.png) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [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_1889.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-09-reception-muddy-monday) Previous ### [Reception: Muddy Monday](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-09-reception-muddy-monday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-995C0432-62BC-4209-AF52-2BB42799DF25.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-11-year-3-class-worship-jesus-teaches-us-to-forgive) Next ### [Year 3- Class Worship-Jesus Teaches Us to Forgive](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-11-year-3-class-worship-jesus-teaches-us-to-forgive) ### 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/)
