As we did this, we prayed to Jesus to say thank you for the new life that He brings at Easter. We enjoyed some beautiful prayers to say thank you for the baby animals such as the chicks, rabbits, lambs and calves that are brought into our world. We also said thank you for the beautiful plants that are in bloom, including those that provide us with food. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/349030CE-3417-4642-B9E8-077747CDF6AB.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [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/activitymore-06E740D5-DD30-41FE-AEAD-284BADAB7D6F_(1).png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-25-year-3-year-0f-prayer-seeds-of-new-beginnings) Previous ### [Year 3- Year 0f Prayer-Seeds of New Beginnings](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-25-year-3-year-0f-prayer-seeds-of-new-beginnings) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-A1FA1251-A756-4A38-9F81-B1614A85D4BD.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-25-year-3-geography-living-life-to-the-full-comparing-darwen-and-new-york) Next ### [Year 3- Geography- Living Life to the Full-Comparing Darwen and New York](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-25-year-3-geography-living-life-to-the-full-comparing-darwen-and-new-york) ### 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/)
