Everyone welcome! # Help us keep children safe from button batteries this Christmas ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/button_batteries_1.PNG) 29 November 2022 This Christmas, homes will be filled with light-up decorations, festive tea lights, singing Santas and flashing Christmas wands. But these – and many other toys – are powered by button batteries that can badly hurt or kill a child if swallowed. Please see the attached images for further information about how you can keep your child safe from button batteries. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/button_batteries_1.PNG) ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/button_batteries_2.PNG) ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/button_batteries.PNG) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Prince-Charles-60th-birthday-090822-906a074f57d0467c937244741d24feba.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-29-extra-bank-holiday-for-the-king-s-coronation-monday-8th-may-2022) Previous ### [Extra bank holiday for the King's Coronation- Monday 8th May 2022](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-29-extra-bank-holiday-for-the-king-s-coronation-monday-8th-may-2022) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/94b0d804-42d2-41bd-b309-6a5d9772042c.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-30-year-5-d-t-exploring-different-ways-to-create-a-fastening) Next ### [Year 5 - D.T- Exploring different ways to create a fastening](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-11-30-year-5-d-t-exploring-different-ways-to-create-a-fastening) ### 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/)
