Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Whole School Worship: What is Spirituality? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2293.jpeg) 2 October 2024 In our Tuesday worship, the theme was spirituality and what it means to us. Mrs Ham talked about things that we can see (physical/ material things) and things that we just feel (spiritual things). We played a fun game where we had to put on a pretend pair of binoculars if it was something physical/ material that we can see or cover our eyes if it was something spiritual that we can't see. We had things like connecting with nature, a big house', money, connecting with friends, inner peace and believing in a God. She introduced the ‘windows’ looking out on the world and how we should take time to learn, to gaze, to wonder and admire and ask ‘why?’ We looked at some of the ways we can live life in all its fullness and today we particularly focused on being 'grateful' for all of God's creations. We also explored how taking notice is one of our five ways to wellbeing too. We looked at some of God’s creations in a video and discussed our favourite ones with our partner. There were lots of 'WOWs' and 'aahhs' at some of God's amazing creations. We finished with a prayer thanking God for all of his creations and sang 'If I were a butterfly' to sing thank you to God. Across this academic year, we will continue to further explore what spirituality means to us at St Barnabas. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2293.jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](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) Previous ### [After School Craft Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-01-after-school-craft-club) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/35290255-4CAE-40F5-A67B-A06B309204CF.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-03-reception-collections-of-3) Next ### [Reception - Collections of 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-03-reception-collections-of-3) ### 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/)
