We have truly embraced the spirit of living life in all its fullness by immersing ourselves in the magic of storytelling. We launched our celebration on Monday with an energetic live drawing session with Liz Pichon. Throughout the week, Year 3 has been busy exploring reading, writing, and performing, from joining live author sessions and listening to stories online to bringing characters to life through their own drawings and drama. Highlights have been the joys of discovery; the children loved opening mystery books, guessing the mystery reader behind a book, and reading to their peers. The fun continues into tomorrow as we settle down to enjoy the classic tale of 'Postman Bear' by Julia Donaldson. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-115FB1B2-76C7-44B8-AA0A-17481A81F22A.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2362.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-04-year-6-pinocchio-performance) Previous ### [Year 6 - Pinocchio Performance ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-04-year-6-pinocchio-performance) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/901DEE0E-817B-460C-8974-F01A7D17CAB6.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-06-year-1-world-book-day-workshop) Next ### [Year 1 World Book Day Workshop](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-06-year-1-world-book-day-workshop) ### 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/)
