Everyone welcome! # The Great Live Assembly- World Refugee Day 2025 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_8528.jpeg) 20 June 2025 This morning in Year 4, we took part in The Great Live Assembly for World Refugee Week. 43 million young people and children have had to leave their country for various reasons including persecution and war. We met two children from Kenya - Ajok wanted to be a teacher and had to flee due to civil war. He had to walk over 500 miles to reach his final destination. We then watched an interview with the author Michael Rosen who has recently written On the Move, which uses poetry to highlight the struggles of a refugee. This teaches us that ‘Home is where the Heart is’ and we should really appreciate and support the sacrifices that the refugee across the world have to endure. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_8528.jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Courageous Advocacy](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [Spirituality](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/spirituality) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2734.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-darwen-netball-league-winners) Previous ### [Darwen Netball League Winners ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-darwen-netball-league-winners) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-5D91771A-0E03-4EEF-BB87-4B24B798BEF6.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-year-3-the-great-big-live-assembly-a-journey-into-refugee-lives) Next ### [Year 3-The Great Big Live Assembly: A Journey Into Refugee Lives](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-20-year-3-the-great-big-live-assembly-a-journey-into-refugee-lives) ### 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/)
