Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 2 - Pentecost and the Holy Spirit ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3915.png) 22 May 2025 Over the past few weeks, Year 2 has been exploring the stories of the Ascension and Pentecost. We had good knowledge of the events in each story, but one question seemed to remain: "What actually is the Holy Spirit?" This was a difficult and personal question for each child. I was extremely impressed with the mature responses we discussed in class. It was amazing to see the children agreeing to disagree with their opinions on what the Holy Spirit meant to them. Later, we discussed how the Holy Spirit can help us. The "Fruits of the Spirit" song suggests that if we have the Holy Spirit, we should be joyful, peaceful, gentle, and many more. We decided that by showing many of these qualities, the Holy Spirit would be shining from the inside out. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3915.png) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8269.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-4-history-what-do-artefacts-tell-us-about-the-past) Previous ### [Year 4 History - What do artefacts tell us about the past? ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-4-history-what-do-artefacts-tell-us-about-the-past) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8274.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-dpssa-netball-round-3) Next ### [DPSSA NETBALL ROUND 3 ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-dpssa-netball-round-3) ### 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/)
