We practised the ancient skill of weaving by making our own baskets, carefully choosing weft strips in colours that matched the tones on our mood boards. We focused on precision by cutting our warp and weft pieces into neat, straight strips and numbering them to keep our patterns tight and organised. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-D09A792D-01F4-4246-8E10-04A715D54A96.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Design Technology](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2139(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-06-nspcc-times-tables-rock-star-challenge) Previous ### [NSPCC Times Tables Rock Star Challenge ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-06-nspcc-times-tables-rock-star-challenge) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0004.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-10-year-4-wow-badge-design-competition) Next ### [Year 4 WOW Badge Design Competition ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-10-year-4-wow-badge-design-competition) ### 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/)
