We discovered that while "seasonal" eating means choosing fruits that grow nearby at certain times of year, it is often difficult to make a truly seasonal fruit tart because so much of our food is imported from all over the world. This is why we have such a huge variety of choices at the shops! To make our delicious fruit tarts, we used a range of ingredients, including shortcrust pastry, custard, and a rainbow of fruit such as melon, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pears, and grapes. I was so pleased to see so many children being brave and trying every single type of fruit on their tarts. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying such a healthy, varied treat that they had prepared all by themselves!![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-E140754C-5017-42DA-880A-3A92750430DD(2).png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2651.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-27-year-6-spaghetti-truss-bridges) Previous ### [Year 6 - Spaghetti Truss Bridges](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-27-year-6-spaghetti-truss-bridges) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3660.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-31-year-5-easter-crowns) Next ### [Year 5 - Easter Crowns](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-31-year-5-easter-crowns) ### 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/)
