The children had to make a complete circuit and ensure that only one light illuminated at a time. In order to do this, they had to be creative and create a three-way switch out of conductive material. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/226A4EEE-6F94-444B-9BD0-3788640794A4.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](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/IMG_2293.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-02-whole-school-worship-what-is-spirituality) Next ### [Whole School Worship: What is Spirituality?](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-02-whole-school-worship-what-is-spirituality) ### 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/)
