Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Coastlines and Islands ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1666(2).jpeg) 12 December 2025 Today, the children used DigiMaps to locate, explore and compare a range of coastlines across the United Kingdom. The children investigated how the shapes of different coastlines vary and identified key geographical features such as bays, headlands, cliffs and beaches. The children also examined the UK’s surrounding islands, using the zoom tools to study their position, size and distance from the mainland. They showed great curiosity as they navigated the digital maps, asked thoughtful questions and discussed why these coastal landscapes might look the way they do. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1666(2).jpeg) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Computing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/computing) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/gallery/ks1-christmas-cracker-2025/IMG_8123.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-12-ks1-christmas-cracker) Previous ### [KS1 Christmas Cracker ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-12-ks1-christmas-cracker) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2235.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-whole-school-worship-the-big-announcement) Next ### [Whole School Worship - The Big Announcement](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-whole-school-worship-the-big-announcement) ### 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/)
