Everyone welcome! # Little Gardeners Club: Nature hunt and planting seeds ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/F8B5F0FC-64F9-4086-8E09-B76D0CB9FC7D.jpeg) 14 September 2026 Our first session of Little Gardeners Club was so fun. We started by going on a nature hunt to find common sightings like red, brown and yellow leaves, a spider web, a pinecone, something prickly, a log and so many more. The children ticked off their items and all helped one another to find things. Then we had a quick play on the trim trail before we were back inside ready to plant seeds. The children each had a plant pot to decorate with letter stickers, gems and paint pens. Then each child put compost into their plant pot and planted a bean seed. We discussed what a plant needs to grow and survive. They are so excited to see them grow!![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/F8B5F0FC-64F9-4086-8E09-B76D0CB9FC7D.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/clubs) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4233(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-11-friday-celebration-worship) Previous ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-11-friday-celebration-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Open_Days_2026-27.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-open-days-for-our-september-2027-intake) Next ### [Open Days for our September 2027 intake](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-open-days-for-our-september-2027-intake) ### 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/)
