Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Meeting- Should TIKTOK be banned? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-FA217391-C790-444D-B78F-67604D3FDCDD.png) 17 April 2026 During our class meeting, James and Alice led a debate on whether TikTok should be banned. The children shared many strong points, with those in favour of a ban arguing that the app can be unsafe for young children, time-consuming, and sometimes used for unkind behaviour. On the other hand, those who disagreed pointed out that TikTok is a fun way to be creative, learn new skills like dancing or crafts, and stay connected with friends. After a long discussion where everyone gave good reasons for their opinions, we held a vote. The "Yes" side received the highest number of votes, so we will be taking further action on this in a few weeks. We also looked back at our work raising money for a brain tumour cure, showing how important it is for our class to speak up and take action for things we believe in. We will be baking to raise money soon. It is wonderful to see the class so eager to speak up and take real action to help others.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-FA217391-C790-444D-B78F-67604D3FDCDD.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Online Safety](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/online-safety) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [School council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/school-council) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3757.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-16-year-5-english) Previous ### [Year 5 - English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-16-year-5-english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/A558F616-50DB-4D78-BEDD-FF91AE11DE63.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-20-year-1-pe-athletics) Next ### [Year 1 PE: Athletics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-20-year-1-pe-athletics) ### 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/)
