They have built houses using ‘cement’ in the sand, created potions in the water area, been busy roleplaying in the shop, made mud pies, travelled around Darwen on the bikes and scooters and also enjoyed balancing on the equipment. They have been busy bees! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/52FFDF44-CE42-4C2D-9E83-4A6DC4329DB8.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6050.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-12-our-school-family-tree) Previous ### [Our school family tree](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-12-our-school-family-tree) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/493861D4-FB60-4808-84F7-7C103D7BE8ED.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-14-reception-library-trip) Next ### [Reception Library Trip](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-14-reception-library-trip) ### 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/)
