Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1 Art ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/E3FC42EB-6748-45A9-843A-FC9B5AB2AA7F.jpeg) 21 May 2024 Today in their art lesson, Year 1 combined their knowledge of secondary colours and printing to make an overlapping printed pattern. To start their lesson, they mixed primary colours to make secondary colours. Following this, they printed repeating patterns in primary colours only using various shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, hexagons and semi-circles. Finally, they overlapped their printed pattern with another primary colour to turn the colours in their patterns from primary colours to secondary colours e.g. overlapping red with blue to make purple and yellow with blue to make green. This overlapping didn’t create the secondary colour as well as we would have expected and we decided that next time we would mix the secondary colours with a paintbrush beforehand and then print using these secondary colours instead. Year 1 worked amazingly well and printed some wonderful repeating patterns. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/E3FC42EB-6748-45A9-843A-FC9B5AB2AA7F.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0AE21725-1D71-48D4-893D-9CBE1D398DAD.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-21-year-1-maths-sharing-equally) Previous ### [Year 1 Maths-Sharing Equally ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-21-year-1-maths-sharing-equally) [![](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/)
