Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Sharing Our Love Of Reading in Year 1 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/94EF9A77-DAF0-4348-9A91-BEF71920B53F.jpeg) 2 March 2023 During World Book Day, Year 1 read and shared their books from home and our school library with great enthusiasm. They each stood up in front of the whole class to show their chosen book that either ‘fills their happy tank’ or is a great bedtime read. The children read and shared their books with their friends and designed a book cover for their favourite book too as part of a competition. In the afternoon an author came in to read their new children’s story to them and they were able to ask questions and take part in an activity celebrating their uniqueness in their house groups. We also made book buddies that they have taken home with them today amongst other activities. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/94EF9A77-DAF0-4348-9A91-BEF71920B53F.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0C1C9433-3B93-4A44-A6B0-2E61CE18B7E7.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-year-1-world-book-day) Previous ### [Year 1 World Book Day ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-year-1-world-book-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/4EABBFBF-A578-41B3-B999-BA8C267E4A60.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-years-5-6-author-visit) Next ### [Years 5 & 6: Author visit ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-years-5-6-author-visit) ### 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/)
