Everyone welcome! # Smart School Council in Year 4 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0542(2).jpeg) 9 March 2026 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0542(2).jpeg)This week we looked at whether technology can be a help or a hindrance when learning. The children used their talk tokens to discuss this issue and did so in a very mature way. It was lovely to hear all of points and great to see turn taking and listening intently even whilst challenging their peers.
