Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - Earth Day ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2336.jpeg) 22 April 2026 To celebrate Earth Day, Year 4 took part in a live English lesson via Zoom which was centred on crafting a story called ‘The Day the Earth Spoke’. The children were given the beginning of the story and were tasked to continue it, considering what the Earth asked when it spoke, why it asked and then what action the character would do to help the Earth. The children were presented with lots of prompts and ideas and they were given time to collaborate with their partners to discuss a range of climate issues before choosing which they would use to develop their story. The class fully embraced this challenge and created some very thought-provoking pieces of writing. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2336.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3809.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-year-5-pshe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-year-5-pshe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1278.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-23-whole-school-worship-with-rev-ben) Next ### [Whole School Worship with Rev Ben ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-23-whole-school-worship-with-rev-ben) ### 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/)
