Everyone welcome! # Year 5-6 Transition Day ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0305(1).jpeg) 3 July 2025 Today, Year 5 enjoyed their transition day as they prepare to move into Year 6. The day was filled with creative and reflective activities to help the children begin thinking about the exciting journey ahead. They started by creating self-portraits, celebrating their individuality and recognising the unique qualities they will bring to Year 6. Next, they designed their own personalised hoodies — a fun and expressive way to mark the beginning of their final year at primary school. Each design reflected their personality, interests and the confidence they’re developing as they grow. Finally, the children designed their own Achievement Jars, filling them with hopes, goals and things they want to accomplish in the coming year — both personal and academic. This thoughtful activity encouraged them to set intentions and aim high, reminding them that Year 6 is not only a time to shine, but also a chance to grow. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0305(1).jpeg) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5195.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-year-4-pe-tennis-skills) Previous ### [Year 4 - PE: Tennis Skills](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-year-4-pe-tennis-skills) [![](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) Next ### [Year 1-Year of Prayer- Mirror Image ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-year-1-year-of-prayer-mirror-image) ### 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)
