Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - RE: Shabbat ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2604.jpeg) 6 November 2024 This week in RE, Year 4 learned about how some Jewish people observe their holy day of rest: Shabbat. The children learned that many blessings are said over the Challah, the Kiddush and as the candles are lit, but they were most fascinated by the restrictions on the use of electricity. No technology for 24 hours! We will be following this up next week by exploring why Jesus chose not to observe Shabbat and continued teaching. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2604.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5624.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-05-edstart-jag-tag-festival) Previous ### [Edstart Jag Tag Festival ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-05-edstart-jag-tag-festival) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4796.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-07-reception-visiting-our-spiritual-garden) Next ### [Reception: Visiting our Spiritual Garden](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-07-reception-visiting-our-spiritual-garden) ### 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/)
