Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 God's Big Story - Class Worship ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_7802.jpeg) 24 April 2025 Today in class worship we started off by discussing if we had ever had a special surprise. We looked at how we made sense of it, what emotions it evoked and how we felt. The children exchanged their experiences with each other and then shared these with the rest of the class. Next we shared the story - The Empty Tomb which came from the Salvation brick, at the very end of the gospels and told the story of Jesus dying on the cross and raising back to life again. Bishop Philip then shared his experiences with us and linked this to the shock that Mary experienced when Jesus died, was buried and then came to life again. If Jesus is alive then love overcame hatred. We can experience love, hope and joy. We can rejoice as Jesus is alive! Over Easter we as Christian’s made a declaration: Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. We then finished our worship by learning the song - Praise Ye the lord and a short prayer. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_7802.jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Christian Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0372.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-23-online-safety-making-friends-online-1) Previous ### [Online Safety: Making Friends Online](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-23-online-safety-making-friends-online-1) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-3F2F9EE4-E9F8-40D6-A61E-2566043D6466.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-year-3-class-worship-the-beginning-of-hope-the-empty-tomb) Next ### [Year 3- Class Worship- The Beginning of Hope: The Empty Tomb](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-24-year-3-class-worship-the-beginning-of-hope-the-empty-tomb) ### 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/)
