Everyone welcome! # English-Year 3 Celebrate Refugee Week at the Global Tea Party! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-233BBD7E-56DA-4273-8F41-007BCA9A69D4.png) 17 June 2026 As part of their learning this week, Year 3 have been exploring what it means to be a refugee or an asylum seeker. The children learned about some of the real challenges these individuals face, including the fact that asylum seekers are often given just under £37.00 to live on for an entire week. Discovering this really brought home the importance of our community efforts, helping the children see firsthand how much of a difference the bubble donations will make for families budgeting on so little. The children were also invited to a wonderful global tea party, where they experienced diverse cultures by tasting food from Greece, Palestine, Africa, Kurdistan, Sri Lanka and Italy. Year 3 were absolute superstars at the event, they represented the school exceptionally and truly sang their hearts out! As a special treat, the event organisers handed each child a small bag of sweets. Year 3, now fully appreciate how far our community's generosity will go in bringing joy to the children and families supported by the Darwen Asylum Refugee Enterprise (DARE). We are incredibly proud of their maturity and enthusiasm today!![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-233BBD7E-56DA-4273-8F41-007BCA9A69D4.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Geography](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/fundraising) [Enrichment](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3444.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-year-6-darwen-literature-festival) Previous ### [Year 6 - Darwen Literature Festival ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-year-6-darwen-literature-festival) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2018(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) Next ### [Whole School Worship with Rev Matt ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) ### 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/)
