Everyone welcome! # Year 1: Visit from Ducklings ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/4506420C-B1A2-465C-A15D-566DCBB8ECC4.jpeg) 11 November 2026 Year 1 had a very exciting visit from some ducklings today. This linked with our Science unit, looking at different animal groups. The children loved watching the ducklings run around, drink water and eat. They even had a little cuddle with them. However, we were very shocked to see how much they did poo! The children identified that ducklings belong to the Birds animal group because they have wings and feathers. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/4506420C-B1A2-465C-A15D-566DCBB8ECC4.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4772.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-11-10-ks2-football-training) Previous ### [KS2 Football Training](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-11-10-ks2-football-training) ### 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/)
