Led by Krish Kandiah, the worship helped us learn about the lives of millions of children who have been forced to leave their homes because of war, violence, or danger. We discovered that over 43 million children and young people worldwide are refugees or displaced. Through stories and real examples, including a live connection with children living in refugee camps, we got a better understanding of the challenges these children face every day. Krish encouraged us to think about what “home” means and how important it is to show kindness, support, and hope to those who have lost so much. The worship helped us reflect on the courage and strength of refugees and inspired us to be more compassionate and aware of global issues. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-5D91771A-0E03-4EEF-BB87-4B24B798BEF6.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Courageous Advocacy](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [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_8528.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-the-great-live-assembly-world-refugee-day-2025) Previous ### [The Great Live Assembly- World Refugee Day 2025 ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-the-great-live-assembly-world-refugee-day-2025) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5976.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-eyfs-and-ks1-sports-day-medal-winners) Next ### [EYFS and KS1- Sports Day Medal Winners](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-eyfs-and-ks1-sports-day-medal-winners) ### 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/)
