They have also completed a jigsaw of the United Kingdom. These activities have allowed the children to make simple observations about the size, shape and location of each of the counties such as England being the largest of all four countries and Scotland being the furthest north. Year 1 are also working on naming the capital cities of the four counties in the UK. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/9B491512-873A-4022-9C36-769AE9959D86.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-2B2B1924-926D-425B-895B-A24A76780AB7.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-20-year-3-art-weaving-inspired-by-anni-albers) Previous ### [Year 3- Art- Weaving inspired by Anni Albers](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-20-year-3-art-weaving-inspired-by-anni-albers) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4405.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-21-year-5-day-and-night) Next ### [Year 5 - Day and Night](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-21-year-5-day-and-night) ### 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/)
