Everyone welcome! # Year 2 - Setting Descriptions ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4015.png) 12 June 2025 This week, in year 2 have been engaged in exploring Aaron Becker's "Journey," a wordless picture book that encourages them to develop their own narratives through imagination. Today's lesson focused specifically on the book's enchanting woodland setting. Using their prior learning of using expanded noun phrases and incorporating similes, the children demonstrated significant effort and produced a collection of highly descriptive and engaging setting descriptions. The effort they put into their writing was evident in the quality of their work. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_4015.png) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2617.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-11-donuts-for-dads-event) Previous ### [Donuts for Dads Event](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-11-donuts-for-dads-event) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/5B72F137-5164-4F19-A53B-EEF559138410.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-13-reception-pe-sports-day-practise) Next ### [Reception PE Sports Day Practise](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-13-reception-pe-sports-day-practise) ### 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/)
