Everyone welcome! # Reception- Magnets ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/FCDF51E9-E836-4027-92F6-748FC24D7E00.jpeg) 23 February 2023 Some of the children in reception asked if they could have some magnets to test which items in the classroom were magnetic or not. We discussed what materials the items were made of and which ones were magnetic. The children found magnetic items such as scissors, magnetic letters, chairs and lots more! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/FCDF51E9-E836-4027-92F6-748FC24D7E00.jpeg) [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/95F41E00-F477-4067-8A3D-6B1768F59B89.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-23-year-2-problem-solving) Previous ### [Year 2 - Problem solving ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-23-year-2-problem-solving) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/23BE0F6A-1EE3-4494-8098-0D76F493B790.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-23-reception-pe) Next ### [Reception PE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-02-23-reception-pe) ### 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/)
