Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Reception Science Week - Experimenting with Ice ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0682.JPG) 12 March 2026 For Science Week, Reception have been experimenting with ice to see how it can change from a solid to a liquid. We based our Science lesson around The Evil Pea from Supertato, where the children had to help free the vegetables from the ice using different tools or equipment. We helped to free the vegetables by breaking the ice, using warm water to melt the ice and by pouring on salt to dissolve the ice. The children loved observing the changes as the vegetables were freed from the blocks! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0682.JPG) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3482.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-11-year-5-pe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-11-year-5-pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E59BCE09-DAD6-480B-8F64-EC5E5AFCCB81.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-13-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-13-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
