Year 2 have been developing their throwing and catching skills, movement off the ball and to work hard to anticipate the direction of the ball in order to intercept play. The children worked on their stance and how to move quickly from one area to the next to reduce the time the opposition had on the ball during the games. Outside players looked and were encouraged the throw the ball quickly and accurately to a teammate to ensure the middle player does not get the ball, [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7313.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-19-reception-muddy-monday) Previous ### [Reception: Muddy Monday](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-19-reception-muddy-monday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/EBC2A0F8-DC61-44C9-BD0A-39312A409C4F.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-19-year-3-history-who-were-the-celts-and-how-did-they-survive-in-the-iron-age) Next ### [Year 3 History: Who were The Celts and how did they survive in The Iron Age?](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-19-year-3-history-who-were-the-celts-and-how-did-they-survive-in-the-iron-age) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.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://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
