Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 3- English- Prediction and Discovery ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-54298B35-55D3-4E0D-A3BB-1F0D4DD8D593.png) 11 May 2026 Today, our classroom was transformed into a mysterious moonlit garden, complete with a nighttime insect soundscape and dimmed lights to help us immerse ourselves in our new story, It Fell from the Sky. The children discovered a display of pebbles, moss, and flowers surrounding a "mystery object", a glimmering crystal orb that appeared to have landed in the centre of the room. After exploring the display and the book's front cover, the children practised their grammar skills by using 'a ' or 'an ' to describe the "extraordinary wonder". To finish the session, they used these clues to write their own predictions about what this object is and where it might have come from. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-54298B35-55D3-4E0D-A3BB-1F0D4DD8D593.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3B287F25-D9D2-4510-BCFA-3FC2FE9390DC.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) Previous ### [Celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0948F526-5398-4567-B355-65DE5F8800EE.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-12-year-1-pe-throwing-and-catching) Next ### [Year 1 PE: Throwing and Catching ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-12-year-1-pe-throwing-and-catching) ### 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/)
