Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Cosmic Backgrounds ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4621.jpeg) 11 February 2025 Year 5 embarked on the next stage of their futuristic art project by creating stunning cosmic-themed backgrounds in preparation for their final pieces. Using a variety of techniques including: printing, flicking, smudging and painting. The children experimented with texture and colour to achieve a dramatic, space-like effect. The children carefully blended tones to capture the depth and mystery of the universe, setting the perfect backdrop for their futuristic designs.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4621.jpeg) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/173475BF-B3C4-42D5-A391-0ED33A395870.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-6-r-e-jewish-passover) Previous ### [Year 6 R.E - Jewish Passover](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-6-r-e-jewish-passover) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/AFBBD3EE-A692-43AF-9CCB-1599F57816CA.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-1-year-of-prayer) Next ### [Year 1- Year of Prayer](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
