Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 2 Science- Microhabitats ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4485.jpeg) 28 September 2026 Today in Science, Year 2 put their planning into action and created their very own microhabitats! They used a range of recyclable materials, including egg cartons, yoghurt pots, boxes and plastic bottles, and filled them with natural materials they found themselves. These included moss, sticks, bark, grass, flowers, soil and leaves. What a fantastic effort, Year 2! We’re looking forward to seeing which minibeasts come to visit and discovering the different creatures that make these microhabitats their home. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4485.jpeg) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/gallery/macmillan-coffee-morning-2026/IMG_7311.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-25-macmillan-coffee-morning-1) Previous ### [Macmillan Coffee Morning](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-25-macmillan-coffee-morning-1) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/5DD3AB1B-A30A-4494-905E-E2BDF558E22B.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-29-craft-club-trick-or-treat-bags) Next ### [Craft Club Trick or Treat Bags](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-29-craft-club-trick-or-treat-bags) ### 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/)
