She made learning about waste and recycling interactive and engaging, teaching them how to sort materials into the different coloured bins. The children left with some great new facts and shared these at the end of the workshop. Joey and Percy discovered that batteries should be placed in a carrier bag outside the bin to prevent fires. Callie learned that hard and soft plastics need to be separated, with hard plastics for recycling and soft plastics as waste. Olivia noted that hard plastics and metals go in the grey bin, Vienna shared that paper and cardboard belongs in the blue bin, and Haydn added that food waste should be put in the burgundy bin. All of our children received a recycling pack to take home which included a variety of follow-up activities, information for those at home, a certificate and a sticker. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/C1FA1F9F-42AD-4DAB-B929-0A93250B5F12.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](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) Previous ### [Reception: Jonah and the Whale](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-24-reception-jonah-and-the-whale) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2232_(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-26-year-6-r-e) Next ### [Year 6 R.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-26-year-6-r-e) ### 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/)
