Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Reception: Muddy Monday ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_9352.jpeg) 24 March 2025 Today our Reception children explored a different area of Whitehall Park. The children created bug houses and dens together. They also found some sticks and pretended to create fires and also used them as drum sticks. Some of the children tried to climb trees and it was lovely to see how brave they were all being whilst developing their fundamental skills. In addition, the children collectively walked 75km to contribute to our Lent Challenge. Well done! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_9352.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-17CE0A57-63D6-4B24-95B1-12E09ADFCCD8.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-3-rock-your-socks-for-world-down-syndrome-day) Previous ### [Year 3-Rock Your Socks For World Down Syndrome Day](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-3-rock-your-socks-for-world-down-syndrome-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3559.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-25-year-2-sentence-structure) Next ### [Year 2 - Sentence structure](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-25-year-2-sentence-structure) ### 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/)
