Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Mrs Ham's Weekly Messsage ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/unnamed_(2).png) 5 May 2023 ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/unnamed_(2).png) ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/unnamed_(3).png) Good afternoon parents and carers, we have had a short but very busy week at St Barnabas celebrating the King's upcoming coronation. We had a wonderful red, white and blue day and coronation picnic on Wednesday with the whole school eating and playing out together on the top field. To see all of the King's coronation celebration photos please click here: https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-galleries/king-s-coronation-celebrations On Tuesday Years 1-6 took part in a triathlon with TriKidz. To learn more about that and what your child has been learning this week, click here: https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news A huge good luck to our Year 6 children as they have their SATS next week. Year 6 children can arrive from 8.45am and will be provided with a breakfast each day but please feel free to give them a breakfast before they arrive if they are used to eating earlier. Please make sure they get plenty of food, rest and sleep this weekend so they are ready to do their best and shine like the stars that we know they are. All of the children have been given a special commemorative coronation coin, book mark and sticker from our Cidari Trust as well as a special coronation flag purchased through a donation from BWD council. We hope that you all have a wonderful bank holiday weekend and enjoy watching or joining in with the coronation celebrations. If you haven't got any plans yet then Whitehall Park has a family fun day on Sunday and the town centre has a street party on Monday. (Posters are attached) See you all on Tuesday. Take care and enjoy the bank holiday weekend, Mrs Ham [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/7B6991C4-E866-407F-9340-46BB8964D5BC.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-05-be-a-baker-part-1-making-the-dough) Previous ### [Be a Baker Part 1 - Making the Dough ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-05-be-a-baker-part-1-making-the-dough) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/F0E07398-D777-4CC5-99AE-BB314B68851E.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-05-be-a-baker-part-2-bread-making-and-cooking) Next ### [Be a Baker Part 2 - Bread Making and Cooking ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-05-be-a-baker-part-2-bread-making-and-cooking) ### 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/)
