Everyone welcome! # Reception: Active Explorers ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/0727EDE0-F2B1-487F-A389-FC6C4FABA4CE.jpeg) 21 May 2024 It has been wonderful to see how our Ducklings are developing in problem solving and how they are all actively exploring all areas. They are constantly wanting to improve their work and are able to complete tricky tasks independently. This week, our Ducklings are learning all about dinosaurs and have created some fabulous Diplodocuses, labelled dinosaurs, created a dinosaur habitat and painted some marvellous dinosaurs whilst telling the class some wonderful facts about the knowledge they have learnt so far. Keep it up! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/0727EDE0-F2B1-487F-A389-FC6C4FABA4CE.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/D36FF2A1-18CB-4456-90E6-B965F8C1C0CD.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-20-monday-worship-mental-health) Previous ### [Monday Worship: Mental Health](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-20-monday-worship-mental-health) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3485.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-22-year-4-dt-food-technology-creating-our-own-biscuits) Next ### [Year 4 DT - Food Technology - Creating our own biscuits ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-22-year-4-dt-food-technology-creating-our-own-biscuits) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
