Everyone welcome! # Reception: Muddy Monday ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2853.jpeg) 7 July 2025 Our Reception class thoroughly enjoyed their Muddy Monday session! They had a fantastic time finding various bugs and enthusiastically creating homes for them. It was truly wonderful to observe their engagement and curiosity during these activities. It was also wonderful to see the children becoming braver, climbing higher up trees, and collaborating to create a camp fire. They also loved foraging for different natural materials to continue their imaginative role-playing games. Additionally, the children enjoyed closely observing the wildflowers and using them to create lovely summer scents, showcasing their creativity and sensory exploration. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2853.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Spirituality](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [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/IMG_6452.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) Previous ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0070_(2).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-08-year-3-r-e-a-visit-from-rev-ben) Next ### [Year 3- R.E-A Visit from Rev.
