Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - The Birth of Moses ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0190.jpeg) 24 June 2025 In Year 5, the children explored the Bible story of Moses’ birth, learning about how God protected him through the courage and faith of several important women. They discovered the vital roles played by Moses’ mother (Jochebed), his sister (Miriam) and even Pharaoh’s daughter, who showed compassion by rescuing Moses from the river. Through this story, the children reflected on the significance of women in the Old Testament and how their actions were guided by faith, bravery and a deep sense of purpose. The children also discussed the broader theme of how God works through people, especially those who trust in Him during difficult times. They made links between the story and their own lives, considering how they can show faith, kindness and courage.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0190.jpeg) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-7B76B16E-E671-4E62-AD58-E64ACF2769F2.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-23-year-3-design-technology-features-of-a-castle) Previous ### [Year 3- Design Technology-Features of a Castle](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-23-year-3-design-technology-features-of-a-castle) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/jonah.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-24-reception-jonah-and-the-whale) Next ### [Reception: Jonah and the Whale](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-24-reception-jonah-and-the-whale) ### 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/)
