Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - Art: Ancient Egyptian Patterns ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3407.jpeg) 16 September 2026 The children are enthralled by our art topic this half term. In Year 3, we are studying the Ancient Egyptians in history, and our art unit compliments this perfectly as we practise the skills required to create our own Egyptian scrolls. This week, we used different media to create an authentic-looking background . We studied ancient Egyptian paintings and portrayed some of these on our backgrounds once they were dry. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3407.jpeg) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Art and Design](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4277.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-ks2-football-club) Previous ### [KS2 Football Club](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-ks2-football-club) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3978.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-17-year-4-science) Next ### [Year 4: Science ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-17-year-4-science) ### 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/)
