The children absolutely loved listening to his picture book ‘Oscar and Ben,’ meeting the characters and joining in with a song about the book. The children described the characters as mischievous, cheeky and sneaky as they got up to lots of mischief on their adventures. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/9DBAD3E3-E500-49E8-A899-663BD327FA82.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/18DB9F39-9671-4AC9-9F7F-16087B79775E.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-03-21-thank-you-for-your-generous-donations-for-our-support-for-ukraine-day) Previous ### [Thank you for your generous donations for our ‘Support for Ukraine Day’ ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-03-21-thank-you-for-your-generous-donations-for-our-support-for-ukraine-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/C72D4C88-23C6-4A3E-BA1D-169269CA5AE1.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-03-22-year-3-science-investigation) Next ### [Year 3 Science Investigation](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-03-22-year-3-science-investigation) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://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://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
