They discussed different kinds of tasks they’re asked to do and how they feel when it’s something important versus something they may not want to do. Some shared moments when they didn’t feel skilled enough but tried because they trusted the person asking. This led to a conversation about feeling called by God, with many children expressing that they believe God may send signs through different forms, like weather, friendships, or even a beam of light, to guide and encourage them. They felt this calling could be an invitation to try new things, make good choices, and grow in confidence. It was a wonderful session of reflection. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-53B348CC-3AA2-4028-B614-C2757FCBB34C.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Christian Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/87703E78-72F8-424C-8686-02EE6F028B98.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-17-cre8ability) Previous ### [Cre8ability ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-17-cre8ability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-98F0D59A-47C3-4B82-AF56-569B7D82278D.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-29-year-3-p-e-dance) Next ### [Year 3 - P.E- Dance ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-29-year-3-p-e-dance) ### 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/)
