Everyone welcome! # Year 1- Year of Prayer (Follow the Lines) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/6D71EA7E-52DE-47CE-8FF0-5232C4DC351A.jpeg) 1 May 2025 This week as part of the Diocesan Year of Prayer, Year 1 went outside onto our playground and ‘followed the lines.’ Before doing so, they thought about how we try our best to lead our lives by Jesus’ example. We thought about all the amazing things that Jesus did such as sharing his power to perform miracles such as healing the sick and feeding the hungry. We thought about the Christian Values that this shows such as kindness, generosity and friendship and how we can live out these values each and everyday. Year 1 suggested that we can lead by Jesus’ example by helping each other when we fall over, holding the door open for one another, complimenting each other to spread love and joy and supporting one another with our work. We followed the various lines (the correct paths) on the playground as we thought about all of the things that we had discussed. We also thought about what we can do when we are finding things a challenge. We said that we could pray to Jesus and ask him to help us to make the right decision to take the right path. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/6D71EA7E-52DE-47CE-8FF0-5232C4DC351A.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/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/)
