Everyone welcome! # Year 3- R.E-The Easter Narrative: A Journey of Mixed Emotions ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-0BB97FA6-2056-4244-95A9-2EF2A1B41488.png) 12 March 2026 This afternoon, Year 3 began their new unit, Is the Cross a Symbol of Sadness or Joy? We started with a quick quiz about the Easter story and were reminded of our Questful characters as we prepared for our journey. Following the arrow to show our direction of travel, we looked at the key events of Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, the Temple, the Last Supper, and the Crucifixion. The children discussed the different emotions people experienced throughout the story and shared what they would like to find out on their quest. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-0BB97FA6-2056-4244-95A9-2EF2A1B41488.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](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/)
