The children were all wearing their pyjamas and bought their own books in to celebrate their love of reading bedtime stories and to share with the class. They enjoyed being read to by Mrs Pendlebury and they helped retell the Gruffalo story as a whole class. It was super to look back at this book and for them to retell and remember the words from our story writing in Autumn 2. They then had a chocolate snack (thank you FOSB) whilst listening to another favourite book by Julia Donaldson: Stickman. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/0C1C9433-3B93-4A44-A6B0-2E61CE18B7E7.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed(1).jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-year-3-world-book-day-design-your-own-book-cover-competition) Previous ### [Year 3 World Book Day: Design your own book cover competition ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-year-3-world-book-day-design-your-own-book-cover-competition) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/94EF9A77-DAF0-4348-9A91-BEF71920B53F.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-sharing-our-love-of-reading-in-year-1) Next ### [Sharing Our Love Of Reading in Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-02-sharing-our-love-of-reading-in-year-1) ### 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/)
