Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Emotional Literacy ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4514.jpeg) 30 January 2025 Today, Year 5 explored the concept of emotional literacy through a discussion about the poster. The class developed a strong understanding of what emotional literacy means and how it can help us navigate difficult situations. Together, we identified key ways to support one another during challenging times, including being understanding, recognising emotions in ourselves and others, showing empathy, offering help and practicing mindfulness to manage emotional difficulties. Through this discussion, the children reflected on the importance of kindness and emotional awareness in building a supportive and caring environment. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4514.jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Online Safety](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/online-safety) [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6626.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-30-year-4-creating-patterns-in-art-fabric-of-nature) Previous ### [Year 4- Creating Patterns in Art - Fabric of Nature ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-30-year-4-creating-patterns-in-art-fabric-of-nature) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/A559693E-8463-4EE0-BB47-4CF176FCD792.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-30-year-1-year-of-prayer) Next ### [Year 1- Year of Prayer ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-30-year-1-year-of-prayer) ### 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/)
