Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Expressing our views of Jesus ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2986.jpeg) 11 May 2026 Today during our RE session, the children focused on expressing their own views and understanding of Jesus. They explored how Jesus can represent guidance, hope, love and faith in people’s lives. Using creativity and reflection, the children designed and created their own crosses to symbolise their personal interpretations of Jesus and what He means to them. The children thoughtfully selected different images and symbols to include in their designs, such as lighthouses to represent guidance and safety, pathways to symbolise direction and following the right path, gates to show welcome and new beginnings and flowers and elements of nature to reflect beauty, growth, peace and creation. The activity encouraged the children to think deeply about their beliefs and express their ideas in a meaningful and imaginative way. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2986.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](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/)
