Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Year of Prayer ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0023.jpeg) 17 June 2025 This week’s Year of Prayer focus was all about fruity smells.The children enjoyed a fun and sensory experience as they immersed themselves in a selection of fruity tea bags, trying to guess the different flavours by smell alone. The children then took time to reflect and give thanks to God for the wonderful variety of fruits and vegetables He has created for us. We thought about how each fruit is unique, just like each of us and how God provides for us in so many colourful, beautiful and nourishing ways. Together, we said a prayer of gratitude, thanking God not only for the food we eat, but also for the joy that comes from sharing, tasting and exploring His creation with others. We were reminded that just as fruit helps our bodies grow strong, God’s love helps our hearts grow in kindness, thankfulness and joy. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0023.jpeg) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Worship Our Way](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship-our-way) [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-A650A55C-3787-4B90-9268-2E7405AF9DA1.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-17-year-3-r-e-exploring-sikh-beliefs-the-5-ks-and-a-way-of-life) Previous ### [Year 3- R.E-Exploring Sikh Beliefs: The 5 Ks and a Way of Life](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-17-year-3-r-e-exploring-sikh-beliefs-the-5-ks-and-a-way-of-life) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/FC8B3B6E-86FC-473D-BA5E-6F39F8B0A273.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-18-reception-year-of-prayer-fruity-smells) Next ### [Reception-Year of Prayer- Fruity Smells ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-18-reception-year-of-prayer-fruity-smells) ### 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/)
