Everyone welcome! # Year 1 DT: Wacky Windmills ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/42BC07CE-DB53-4740-AFAB-8A56A81EAB47.jpeg) 9 July 2026 Year 1 made their wacky windmills today and they look absolutely fantastic. They followed their designs carefully and took their time when colouring to make sure they looked amazing. It was impressive to see how quick they were able to put the base together using the cups, plates and tape. Then, they did need some help with the pinwheel, however they really enjoyed testing that out and seeing how fast their windmills span. Well done Year 1!![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/42BC07CE-DB53-4740-AFAB-8A56A81EAB47.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Design Technology](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3717.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-07-08-year-6-pshe) Previous ### [Year 6 - PSHE ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-07-08-year-6-pshe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0D9959AD-888C-4BC1-9E95-B198AC50EB97.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-07-10-end-of-year-awards-and-celebration) Next ### [End of Year Awards and Celebration](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-07-10-end-of-year-awards-and-celebration) ### 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/)
