Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - English: Performing Haikus ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1223.jpeg) 7 January 2026 It’s been a super busy start to the Spring term in Year 4! In English, we have been analysing the structure of haiku poetry and modifying poems to fit this structure. We finished off this short unit performing our modified poems to the rest of the class, with a focus on the use of intonation and expression to convey the theme of the poem. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1223.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Oracy](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/oracy) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2233.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-06-year-5-nspcc) Previous ### [Year 5 - NSPCC](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-06-year-5-nspcc) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_9444.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-08-gifted-and-talented-gymnastics-club) Next ### [Gifted and Talented Gymnastics Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-08-gifted-and-talented-gymnastics-club) ### 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/)
