Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3-Our Class Worship on Jesus and the 'Listened Really Well' Kite. ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-76DF1A17-A881-4B5D-A9E4-8B30197C5651.png) 3 February 2026 In our Class Worship today, we explored the theme "Jesus Helps People, and Jesus Listens," reflecting on how Jesus showed compassion by healing Bartimaeus, feeding the hungry crowd with five loaves and two fish, and ensuring his mother was cared for by the disciple John. We also introduced our next display kite, "Listened really well," by sharing the story of Mary and Martha. We learned that while Martha was busy and "grumpy" with chores, Mary chose to sit still and listen carefully to Jesus' teachings. Jesus explained that Mary had "chosen well," and we practised sitting still ourselves to understand why being a good listener is so important. To encourage this behaviour, we will now be adding to our kite display whenever children show their best listening skills in and out of the classroom. We concluded with a prayer, asking for a caring attitude and the strength to help those who feel forgotten. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-76DF1A17-A881-4B5D-A9E4-8B30197C5651.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2672(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) Previous ### [Year 5 - National Storytelling Week](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0482(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) Next ### [Online Safety: Supporting safe use of AI](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) ### 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/)
