Their workshop was a session on developing rhyming patterns and creating poetry. It was delivered by Rappaman - a poet that does a lot of work with communities in the North West. The children had great fan creating rhymes and repeating tongue twisters. There was even a joke or two thrown in! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4808.jpeg) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Oracy](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/oracy) [![](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/)
