It was a wonderful wintery view this morning from St Barnabas. It has been lovely to see the children reunited with their friends and they have especially enjoyed playing in the snow with them at break time. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_9467.jpeg)They have soon settled back into school and have been working their socks off already! We are looking forward to another exciting year of achieving great things and living life in all its fullness!
