We used the theme "Beyond the Battery" to explore our Christian value of Respect while discussing how technology is rapidly changing the world around us. During our "Pupil Talk" session, the children were fascinated by how robots could spin, jump, and dance to music. This inspired them to develop some truly innovative ideas for robot jobs in our own lives. They suggested that robots could be designed to help with difficult chores, assist people with disabilities, help them with their homework, give out hugs and teach the children a dance routine. We also took time to think deeper about the difference between a living person and an object made by human hands. Reflecting on Psalm 115, we discussed how technology can mimic the way we move, but it can never replace the unique life that makes every human being special. We talked about how, unlike robots that follow instructions, humans have their own feelings, imaginations, and the ability to show true kindness. To conclude our worship, Archie shared a prayer thanking God for the skills that allow us to build and invent. We asked for the wisdom to use our inventions to treat every person with the dignity and respect they deserve. It was a fantastic session that encouraged the children to look "beyond the battery" at the true value of the people around them. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-A781AC15-51F9-4495-8B2A-CFEA5AD482CE.png) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2447(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-6-british-science-week) Previous ### [Year 6 - British Science Week](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-6-british-science-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1000028180.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-12-kids-with-bricks-lego-club) Next ### [Kids with Bricks Lego Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-12-kids-with-bricks-lego-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/)
