Today, the children continued to explore their local environment and we went to Jack Keys Reservoir. We explored the differences between Knowsley road and the reservoir. The children said it was a lot quieter, there were a lot more trees and water. We then built some birds nests after reading Owl Babies. The children also enjoyed getting very muddy in an area of the woods. They described the mud and what it felt and sounded like. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/17A10FAF-F08D-4219-B0B5-8D0CA2AD7A10.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/late.PNG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-message-from-mrs-ham) Previous ### [Message from Mrs Ham](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-message-from-mrs-ham) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/24748E63-248A-4902-9A4C-E71F0E978106.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-04-year-1-english) Next ### [Year 1- English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-04-year-1-english) ### 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)
