Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - RE: What is Prayer? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3481(1).jpeg) 8 January 2025 New year, new RE topic in Year 4. This half term we will be exploring prayer and what it means to different people of faith. We began our unit with a twist on the silent gallery. There were various questions posted around the classroom and the children had to walk around the room in silence and record their ideas. This activity gives a great baseline assessment of what the children already know and where we can take their learning. We will be using this tool again throughout the unit to help the children’s spiritual exploration. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3481(1).jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [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/gallery/snowy-spring-2025/IMG_8186.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-07-snowy-start-to-the-spring-term) Previous ### [Snowy start to the Spring term](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-07-snowy-start-to-the-spring-term) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-A3FD12BD-7D77-4593-8CF3-DFA93FA684B1_(1).png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-08-year-3-class-worship-is-it-our-responsibility-to-protect-local-wildlife) Next ### [Year 3- Class Worship- Is it our responsibility to protect local wildlife?](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-08-year-3-class-worship-is-it-our-responsibility-to-protect-local-wildlife) ### 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/)
