Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Kindness Kites ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3732.jpeg) 16 April 2026 ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3732.jpeg) 2026 is the centenary year for the Blackburn Diocese, which includes the churches and schools in the local area. To celebrate this, everyone at St Barnabas has been thinking about kindness and the different forms that it can take. Previously the children have considered the power of saying something kind, listening and sharing while giving examples from their own lives. This week, we completed our ‘making peace’ kite and over the next two weeks we will start thinking about generosity.
