Everyone welcome! # Year 3- R.E- Why do communities celebrate Harvest? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-710DC1E6-F49D-4EFD-8F8F-0B2CD49AA084.png) 4 September 2025 This afternoon in R.E, Year 3 have started a new topic all about harvest celebrations. We're exploring why communities around the world, and Christians in particular, celebrate the harvest. The children have been reflecting on some big questions, such as: Why do communities celebrate the harvest? What exactly is being celebrated at this time of year? We've had some wonderful discussions about the children’s own experiences of harvest festivals, whether at church, school, or within their own communities. They've shared what they already know and have come up with some fantastic questions that we'll be exploring together in the coming lessons. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-710DC1E6-F49D-4EFD-8F8F-0B2CD49AA084.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0776.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-03-year-6-class-portraits) Previous ### [Year 6 - Class Portraits ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-03-year-6-class-portraits) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3617.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-05-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-05-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
