Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - National Parks of the United Kingdom ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1699.jpeg) 16 December 2025 Today, Year 6 used an atlas to explore the national parks of the UK. The children investigated where the national parks are located and discussed why tourism is such a big industry in these areas. The children also explored how the UK benefits from tourism, including job opportunities, support for local communities and the protection of natural environments. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1699.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2086(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-year-5-re) Previous ### [Year 5 - RE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-15-year-5-re) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8408.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-17-church-carol-service) Next ### [Church Carol Service](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-12-17-church-carol-service) ### 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/)
