Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 5- D.T- How does a vacuum cleaner work? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-FAAFD0D3-DB1D-419A-AEB8-70CC041C38BE.png) 11 July 2023 The children in the class had a really interesting time trying out the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Animal™ vacuum cleaner. Before trying out the vacuum cleaner we watched a video that explained its design and specifications. It was really interesting to see how the vacuum was made and learn about its special features. It was fascinating to see that many of them had never used a vacuum cleaner before. The children took turns doing different things with the vacuum, like cleaning up different kinds of debris, going around obstacles, changing the height, and using it on different surfaces. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-FAAFD0D3-DB1D-419A-AEB8-70CC041C38BE.png) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/289824998_410640934442319_8625115916541725519_n.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-07-mrs-ham-s-highlights) Previous ### [Mrs Ham's Highlights](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-07-mrs-ham-s-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/FE82DD70-61AA-46A3-974E-C65491449BC7.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-12-year-4-linking-schools-litter-pick) Next ### [Year 4 - Linking Schools Litter Pick](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-12-year-4-linking-schools-litter-pick) ### 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/)
