Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- What Can Football Teach Us About the World? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-CE7E15C2-8839-43E4-9738-192A61DC983D.png) 10 June 2026 During class worship today, we looked ahead to the upcoming 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup and explored the big question: "What can football teach us about the world?" We learned that this tournament will be the biggest one yet, bringing together 48 teams to play matches across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We discovered that football is truly a universal language, played by millions of people in entirely different environments, whether on a beach in Brazil, in a busy city, or in a refugee camp, showing us that all you really need to connect is a ball and some space. Ultimately, we reflected on how the World Cup is about much more than just sport; it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our global community. We concluded with a prayer, reflecting on how people who speak different languages, eat different foods, and live in different cultures can still be brought together through shared experiences, teamwork, and mutual respect.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-CE7E15C2-8839-43E4-9738-192A61DC983D.png) [Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3306.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-09-bee-stinger-netball-final) Previous ### [Bee Stinger Netball Final ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-09-bee-stinger-netball-final) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1905.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-geography-year-4-rivers) Next ### [Geography Year 4 - Rivers ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-geography-year-4-rivers) ### 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/)
