They thoroughly enjoyed this and were very good at it. Year One spotted that instructions contain both time conjunctions and verbs. They will also learn that adverbs can be a useful part of instructional writing too. What a fantastic start to our unit and even better that it was during mental health week as we know how important exercise is to keep us happy and healthy. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/0789C909-75F0-4462-B006-01CA27BB3518.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0237_(1).jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-children-s-mental-health-week-launch-worship-yop-talents) Previous ### [Children's Mental Health Week Launch Worship & YOP- Talents](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-children-s-mental-health-week-launch-worship-yop-talents) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-ED1C5D66-546D-4F2F-BBF6-80D79CA383AD.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-foodie-friends-club-cupcakes) Next ### [Foodie Friends club- Cupcakes](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-foodie-friends-club-cupcakes) ### 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/)
