Miss Flynn read ‘The Monkey With a Bright Blue Bottom,’ Mrs Wilkinson read ‘The Wonky Donky,’ Mrs Govan read ‘Taylor Swift (Little People, Big Dreams), Mr Norris read ‘Sammy Striker and the Football Cup,’ Mrs Hegarty read ‘The Great Dog Bottom Swap,’ Miss Woods read ‘I’ve Broken My Bottom,’ Miss Kachwalla read ‘There’s a Snake in My School,’ Mrs Gardner read ‘Revolting Rhymes,’ Mr Bloomfield read, ‘The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors,’ Mr Prescott read ‘The World’s Worst Children’ and Miss Lyons read ‘Absolutely Awful Adults.’ Most of these stories were new to our children and they thoroughly enjoyed listening to and engaging with them. There were lots of giggles! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/A6F9A884-79F3-439F-B872-6CD3F0716A15.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7130.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-06-world-book-day-in-year-4) Previous ### [World Book Day in Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-06-world-book-day-in-year-4) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-AADA6650-228A-40B1-8C34-226CBE96B533_(1).png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-06-year-3-celebrates-world-book-day-reading-our-way) Next ### [ Year 3 Celebrates World Book Day: Reading Our Way!](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-06-year-3-celebrates-world-book-day-reading-our-way) ### 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/)
