Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Earth Day ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2845.jpeg) 22 April 2026 To celebrate Earth Day, Year 6 children explored the importance of sustainability by taking part in a creative upcycling project. The children transformed old wooden wheels into beautifully designed Earth themed coasters. The children carefully painted each piece to represent our planet, reflecting on the need to protect natural resources and reduce waste. This hands on activity not only developed their artistic skills but also encouraged thoughtful discussions about how small actions can make a big difference to the environment.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2845.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3825.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-22-year-5-music) Previous ### [Year 5 Music](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-22-year-5-music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3870.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-22-year-5-world-earth-day) Next ### [Year 5 - World Earth Day](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-22-year-5-world-earth-day) ### 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/)
