We understood that sound waves travel to our ears, which send a message to our brain for us to understand what we are hearing and where it is coming from. We demonstrated this by blindfolding one child and then shaking a Maraca and trying to follow the direction of the sound, which they were all very good at. We also talked about sounds that are quiet, loud, pleasant and unpleasant. We made sounds with different objects and described them. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/DB0E7E75-1CE7-484F-9049-7AC7797F1DEB.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1682.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-19-year-5-re) Previous ### [Year 5 - RE ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-19-year-5-re) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B539B15E-F3FC-4F0B-99E6-AD98FF86DEE6.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-21-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-21-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
