On Monday the children in Reception blew Mrs Wilkinson's and Mrs Thompson's socks off! They walked over 2km around Jacks Key. The children listened to sounds they could hear, looked at what they could see under a bridge and used their imaginations chanting trip trap and the bear hunt story. The children had lots of fun! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_6386.jpeg) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [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) [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_1142.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-07-year-5-pe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-07-year-5-pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1B4FFA41-ADDA-431E-A540-7EE604573DB8.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-09-whole-school-rev-ben-worship) Next ### [Whole school Rev.
