To remind ourselves, we explored the concept of climate zones, explaining that these describe the typical weather patterns of different parts of the world, including rainfall and temperature. The children discovered that the UK has a temperate climate, meaning it experiences four seasons, which affects the types of food that can be grown here. They also learned that different climates around the world allow different countries to grow specific foods. Using atlases, the children worked in pairs to locate countries where certain fruits and vegetables traditionally grow. This activity helped them understand the link between climate and food production. We also discussed how the UK’s temperate climate influences the food available to us and how this can impact our diets. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-F026FDAF-6F26-477C-8FA4-E1579A19BB0A.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B1230DA0-E7A0-4432-A5DA-8C3397F7A692.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-14-amazing-art-displays) Previous ### [Amazing Art Displays](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-14-amazing-art-displays) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0362.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-25-spring-2-week-1-collective-worship-life-in-all-its-fullness-year-of-prayer) Next ### [Spring 2- Week 1 Collective Worship- Life in all its fullness & Year of Prayer](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-25-spring-2-week-1-collective-worship-life-in-all-its-fullness-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/)
