Everyone welcome! # Year 3- English-Exploring the magic of storytelling through sound and rhythm Online Workshop with Alim Kamara ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-F4BD6BEE-48D7-49FA-BCCB-B30279714454.png) 3 February 2026 To celebrate National Storytelling Week, our Year 3 class took part in an inspiring online workshop today with the award-winning rapper and storyteller, Alim Kamara. This fun, interactive session focused on the theme "Soundtrack Your Story," which encourages pupils to explore the magic of storytelling through sound, music, and rhythm. The children fully immersed themselves in the experience by joining in with raps and even creating their own original raps, using beats and rhyme to bring their ideas to life. The workshop served as an exciting springboard for the class, sparking their imaginations and providing fresh inspiration for their own story creations. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-F4BD6BEE-48D7-49FA-BCCB-B30279714454.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2672(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) Previous ### [Year 5 - National Storytelling Week](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0482(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) Next ### [Online Safety: Supporting safe use of AI](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) ### 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/)
