The children had an absolutely fantastic time getting stuck into the soil! The planting team were genuinely impressed by the children's impressive knowledge of local trees and birds. We have some truly talented budding ecologists in our midst. The students showed such care and dedication while planting, and they are already buzzing with excitement to return and watch "their" trees flourish over the coming years. A huge well done to Year 3 for being such incredible ambassadors for our environment and for leaving a lasting green legacy for our community! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-B0B5F231-A38B-4EC3-993D-FCC72F5096B9.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [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_2748.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-11-year-5-pshe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-11-year-5-pshe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3048.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-13-year-5-growing-our-future) Next ### [Year 5 - Growing Our Future](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-13-year-5-growing-our-future) ### 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/)
