The children discussed how these homes reflect the daily lives, cultures, and technological advancements of the time. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3864.jpeg) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0805.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-30-year-5-gymnastics) Previous ### [Year 5 - Gymnastics ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-30-year-5-gymnastics) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/2EC624AE-9E42-4D4F-94E2-DD445D5ED6DD.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-01-after-school-craft-club) Next ### [After School Craft Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-01-after-school-craft-club) ### 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/)
