In order to do this, Year 1 replicated the shapes and lines that they could see (and identified last lesson) using good control of their pencil. They started with the outline of the building before adding finer details such as the windows and doors. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/634672D3-0566-4607-A0B3-873B5C7491D4.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5317.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-01-year-5-square-root-day) Previous ### [Year 5 - Square Root Day](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-01-year-5-square-root-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/9078239C-6F6D-4525-B90E-FA77A5C6B526.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-01-choir-lunchtime-club) Next ### [Choir Lunchtime Club ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-01-choir-lunchtime-club) ### 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/)
