They watched a clip of a Rocket Launch and have been eager to find out lots about what it's like in Space. They worked with Mrs Thompson to make their own rocket and took it onto the MUGA to see how far they could launch it! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/rocket.jpg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5485.PNG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-reception-healthy-vs-unhealthy-food) Previous ### [Reception Healthy Vs Unhealthy Food ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-reception-healthy-vs-unhealthy-food) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0F4A9A15-C464-4F33-9EB2-A648E0D2AC50.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-15-celebration-worship-and-end-of-year-awards) Next ### [Celebration Worship and End of Year Awards ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-15-celebration-worship-and-end-of-year-awards) ### 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)
