Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - History-From Tudors to Today: How Childhood Has Changed ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-BB213FBE-0B8A-4771-AD92-4716F72D653B.png) 6 January 2026 Year 3 stepped into the role of historians this afternoon as we launched our new History unit! We have been exploring the similarities and differences between children's lives now and in the past. Using portraits of Tudor children as our primary sources, the pupils practised the art of observation and deduction. By observing closely what the children were wearing and playing with, our class made astute deductions about who was wealthy and how they spent their time. It was a brilliant way to see how much, and how little, life has changed over the centuries! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-BB213FBE-0B8A-4771-AD92-4716F72D653B.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2204.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-05-year-5-science) Previous ### [Year 5 - Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-05-year-5-science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2531.jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-07-year-2-music-creating-and-performing-bass-lines) Next ### [Year 2 - Music - Creating and performing bass lines](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-07-year-2-music-creating-and-performing-bass-lines) ### 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/)
