Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 5- P.S.H.E- Our Emotional Needs ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-618E3BCA-2E3A-4C7B-8D9C-21C4BEDFFA9B.png) 22 March 2023 The children worked in pairs to design their own character who is the same age as them. They then discussed the needs of their characters, thinking about their strengths and weaknesses, what they like and dislike and how their character feels about themselves. We then explored situations which we don't find easy and created examples of positive coping strategies. These included; speaking to somebody about how you're feeling; writing down your worries if they're on your mind a lot of the time-some people find this helpful. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-618E3BCA-2E3A-4C7B-8D9C-21C4BEDFFA9B.png) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [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/8D8A188F-2CEB-4298-A832-E17D9B989B0B.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-21-reception-dental-hygiene) Previous ### [Reception: Dental Hygiene ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-21-reception-dental-hygiene) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/5F9F4FAE-D840-46EE-9A42-74FFEC6E9235.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-23-year-4-science-week-investigation) Next ### [Year 4 - Science Week Investigation](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-23-year-4-science-week-investigation) ### 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/)
