Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Food Technology- Exploring Seasonal Food ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-FCAA0CFC-078F-44F2-A87B-9DAD37709720.png) 19 March 2026 This afternoon, we explored the world of seasonal eating and discovered where our food actually comes from. We learned that while supermarkets provide us with a huge variety of ingredients year-round, importing food from overseas can lead to a larger carbon footprint and increased waste. By choosing to eat food that is in season in the UK, like summer strawberries or autumn pumpkins, we can support our local farmers and help protect the environment. Using our UK seasonal food wheels, we identified which crops flourish in our temperate climate. This knowledge will be essential over the next few weeks as we begin to design and bake our very own seasonal tarts.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-FCAA0CFC-078F-44F2-A87B-9DAD37709720.png)![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-FCAA0CFC-078F-44F2-A87B-9DAD37709720.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Design Technology](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3553(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-18-year-5-music) Previous ### [Year 5 - Music](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-18-year-5-music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0764.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-20-reception-maths-making-7) Next ### [Reception Maths - Making 7](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-20-reception-maths-making-7) ### 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/)
