Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1 RE: Advent Trail ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/4549DE58-BF98-4181-8340-21A4DE1EF42D.jpeg) 16 December 2025 This afternoon Year 1 took a visit to Whitehall Park so that we could see all of the Advent Art created by our school, which fit nicely into our RE topic surrounding the true meaning of Christmas. As we walked to the park, we thought about the Nativity story. Once we arrived, we discovered that the Wise Men brought Jesus three special gifts: gold (to show respect that Jesus was a king), frankincense (to show that people would worship Him) and myrrh (to show that Jesus would understand suffering). We tried to see if any of the artwork showcased the Wise Men. We discussed that most precious gifts are not expensive, but they have thought and meaning behind them. We also thanked God for the most special gift of all, Jesus. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/4549DE58-BF98-4181-8340-21A4DE1EF42D.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [Religious Education](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [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_2086(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-year-5-re) Previous ### [Year 5 - RE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-year-5-re) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8408.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-17-church-carol-service) Next ### [Church Carol Service](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-17-church-carol-service) ### 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/)
