Everyone welcome! # Transition day- Year 2- 3- Getting Ready for Year 3: ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-70DE263D-C146-4D99-ADFD-F438ED56B400.png) 3 July 2025 Today was an exciting day for the children in Year 2 as they got to experience Year 3. The children created their "bucket of kindness." Everyone wrote little messages, showing off their great handwriting, all about how they're going to spread kindness in Year 3 and to the whole school. It was lovely to see how much they care about making a positive difference. They also shared what they're looking forward to most in Year 3. We heard about their excitement for new clubs, amazing science lessons, learning new things, and the excitement of challenging themselves. It gave us a peek into their unique hopes and dreams. They also made bookmarks, for September and coloured in a pencil crayon for our display to show that even though we're all unique, when we work together, we make one amazing "box". It was an absolute joy to hear their stories and see all their wonderful, unique personalities shine through! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-70DE263D-C146-4D99-ADFD-F438ED56B400.png) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6415.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-year-1-year-of-prayer-mirror-image) Previous ### [Year 1-Year of Prayer- Mirror Image ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-year-1-year-of-prayer-mirror-image) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0304.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) Next ### [Whole School Worship with Rev.Matt](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
