The children were completely wowed by his high-energy poetry performance of The Dinosaurs Are Back. He had the entire class up on their feet, joining in and dancing along with him. We were also given a copy of his book to keep in our classroom. It was a brilliant day. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-376AE3EE-D6EF-4C7B-8E1A-28255A73AEF4.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [National Year of Reading](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/national-year-of-reading) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3446.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-15-year-6-rounders) Previous ### [Year 6 - Rounders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-15-year-6-rounders) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1743.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-17-reception-pshe-how-we-encourage-others-to-keep-to-keep-trying) Next ### [Reception - PSHE - How we encourage others to keep to keep trying.](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-17-reception-pshe-how-we-encourage-others-to-keep-to-keep-trying) ### 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/)
