To do this, they used counters, cubes and paper-clips. Year 1 were extremely accurate in their measurements as they made sure that they started at the very beginning of the object and lined up the counters, cubes and paper-clips accurately without leaving any gaps until they got to the very end of the object. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/CBBBD66F-424B-49E2-A914-0A130D66D9EB.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4385.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-30-year-4-class-worship-in-the-spirituality-garden) Previous ### [Year 4 - Class Worship in the Spirituality Garden](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-30-year-4-class-worship-in-the-spirituality-garden) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/F195FF8F-FC29-47B2-A69A-0BECE5877A9F.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-02-year-6-kooth) Next ### [Year 6 - Kooth](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-02-year-6-kooth) ### 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/)
