She spoke to the children about what life was like growing up during that time and shared her experiences as a child of war. Diana described her daily life and spoke about the strong sense of community that developed during those years. The children were fascinated by her stories and asked many thoughtful questions, showing great curiosity and respect for her experiences. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1073(1).jpeg) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1171.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-08-year-5-music) Previous ### [Year 5 - Music](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-08-year-5-music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1076.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-09-dpssa-girls-football) Next ### [DPSSA Girls Football ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-09-dpssa-girls-football) ### 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)
