Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Spaghetti Truss Bridges ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2651.jpeg) 27 March 2026 As part of our Year 6 DT project, the children have been learning about bridge structures and design. The children worked incredibly hard to plan, design and build their own truss bridges using spaghetti, carefully considering strength, stability and how to reinforce their structures. Throughout the project, they showed fantastic creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills, testing and improving their designs as they went along. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2651.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3635.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-26-year-5-bikeability) Previous ### [Year 5 - Bikeability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-26-year-5-bikeability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/51F15E6E-C933-49CC-A5CB-F08084F4DC63.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-30-year-1-toy-museum) Next ### [Year 1: Toy Museum](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-30-year-1-toy-museum) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
