Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship- What can flags represent? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-185E254A-F9A8-4B30-8DC5-4DA3DFDA4C74.png) 3 September 2025 This morning in our class worship, we used a "Picture News" to discuss a recent news story about flags being displayed across the UK. We explored different opinions, considering why people might see the flags as a way to show pride for their country and support for sports teams. We also discussed the concerns of others who feel the flags can be used to make some people feel unwelcome. After our discussion, the children were challenged to create their own flags to represent something important to them, such as their family or school. They had the chance to think about what symbols, colours, and words they would include to show what they believe in. The activity helped them understand how flags can be powerful symbols that bring people together but can also be used to divide. Some of the children created a flag with a drawing representing each family member, their favourite sports, favourite colours and hobbies etc. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-185E254A-F9A8-4B30-8DC5-4DA3DFDA4C74.png) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/IMG_5139.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-02-fantastic-first-day-back) Previous ### [Fantastic first day back! ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-02-fantastic-first-day-back) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0151.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-04-year-5-p-e) Next ### [Year 5 P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-04-year-5-p-e) ### 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/)
