Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3- D.T- Running stitch ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-81E9BFAB-04B1-46D8-95A0-544D645FA92B.png) 29 October 2024 Building on their skills from Year 2, the little elves have started a new unit on textiles this afternoon, preparing for our school Christmas fair. By the end of this unit, the children will design and create a Christmas-themed pouch, practising essential techniques along the way. Today, they focused on mastering the running stitch, aiming for regular-sized stitches and learning the importance of knotting both ends to secure their work. They also revisited how to thread a needle and tie a knot. Although threading needles and stitching proved challenging today, we’re excited to see their skills and confidence grow as they work toward completing their Christmas creations. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-81E9BFAB-04B1-46D8-95A0-544D645FA92B.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-8C9F2D8C-807A-41A5-B6FF-584709FF5F5E.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-28-year-3-english-history-understanding-mummification-through-experiment) Previous ### [Year 3- English- History-Understanding Mummification Through Experiment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-28-year-3-english-history-understanding-mummification-through-experiment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/96E9154F-6412-4FD6-8D3F-9171239469AC.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-30-year-6-money-matters) Next ### [Year 6 - Money Matters](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-10-30-year-6-money-matters) ### 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/)
