Everyone welcome! # Reception- Year of Prayer- hot cross buns ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/DE65CE5C-B2D0-42EC-8749-9312F2578228.jpeg) 3 April 2025 As part of our year of prayer, we looked at the smell and taste of the hot cross bun. We spoke about how the cross on the bun symbolises the cross that Jesus died upon. We spoke about why Jesus died and that he died to take away the things we have done wrong. We said thank you to Jesus for giving his life so that we could have the chance of a new start. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/DE65CE5C-B2D0-42EC-8749-9312F2578228.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [Year of Prayer](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/43C5EE67-FFD2-428D-B852-80376711ED2C.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-03-reception-year-1-and-year-2-story-club-with-miss-flynn-and-the-librarians) Previous ### [Reception, Year 1 and Year 2- Story Club with Miss Flynn and the Librarians ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-03-reception-year-1-and-year-2-story-club-with-miss-flynn-and-the-librarians) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0D526882-9396-4C22-9785-B1CAC73A2FB9.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-03-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) Next ### [Year 6 Music with Junior Jam](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-03-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) ### 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/)
