Everyone welcome! # Year 3- English- Writing in Role: The Beetle's Complaint ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-96AC7218-A286-4430-AE51-045384177044.png) 10 June 2026 In English this week, the authors have been putting their persuasive writing skills to the test. They have started writing a formal letter of complaint to the Spider, taking on the creative perspective of the Beetle. The children are writing to firmly argue the Beetle's case, claiming that the object in question rightfully belongs to all the insects. It has been wonderful to see the children using expressive vocabulary to express the Beetle’s outrage and make his complaints as convincing as possible. We cannot wait to see how their final letters turn out. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-96AC7218-A286-4430-AE51-045384177044.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](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/)
