Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Years 2 & 4 - RE: Exploring the Church ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_5194(1).jpeg) 2 July 2025 Both Year 2 and Year 4 are currently studying the Church in RE. To develop the children’s knowledge and understanding, Rev Ben invited both classes to church to explore the features and talk about why they might be found in a church. The Year 2 children have been learning about various features and labelling them, which was further developed through experiencing how they are used and why. The Year 4 children have been learning about the similarities and differences between different churches and other places of worship, and they have been finding out about how some common features are connected to the Bible. Thank you for inviting us, Rev Ben. The experience definitely enhanced the children’s learning. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_5194(1).jpeg) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [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_0272.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-01-year-5-human-life-cycle) Previous ### [Year 5 - Human Life Cycle ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-01-year-5-human-life-cycle) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2401.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-year-6-r-e) Next ### [Year 6 R.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-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/)
