They were able to explain that dandelions use the wind to spread their seeds, cherry trees rely on birds to eat the seeds and then disperse them through their droppings, wild cucumbers burst to scatter their seeds explosively, burdock plants use their spikes to hitch a ride to a new location and coconut trees use water dispersal to disperse their seeds by letting them fall on the beach and when the tide comes in, the tide picks up the coconut and carries it to another to grow. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-05F8FB8E-405A-4DB5-BE63-D832E19C149A.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3311.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-07-02-year-5-balanced-arguments) Previous ### [Year 5 - Balanced Arguments ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-07-02-year-5-balanced-arguments) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-F07663D4-413D-4DC2-AB39-32A571EDCF6D.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-07-03-year-2-3-transition-day) Next ### [Year 2 - 3 Transition Day- ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-07-03-year-2-3-transition-day) ### 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/)
