Ben ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0070_(2).jpeg) 8 July 2025 Today, we welcomed Rev. Ben into our R.E. lesson. He came to speak to Year 3 about the qualities of a Christian and what it means to live a Christian life. Rev. Ben shared examples from his own experiences and the Bible, helping the children understand key values such as kindness, forgiveness, honesty, and compassion. The pupils were incredibly engaged and asked thoughtful questions, such as “How do Christians show love to others? Is it hard to forgive people? Do Christians have to attend church every Sunday? After the discussion, the children reflected on what they had learned and worked on writing their own set of guidelines for how someone might live as a Christian. These included ideas such as “Help others in need,” “Treat everyone fairly,” “Pray when you feel thankful or worried,” and “Forgive people, even when it’s hard.” ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0070_(2).jpeg) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [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_0344(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-07-year-5-striking-and-fielding) Previous ### [Year 5 - Striking and Fielding ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-07-year-5-striking-and-fielding) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8908.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-09-flip-art-in-year-4) Next ### [Flip Art in Year 4 ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-09-flip-art-in-year-4) ### 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)
