Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE- Bouncing and Catching a Ball ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/9BBF9C2C-4FB3-4B3B-85D2-E0A367FEF586.jpeg) 15 May 2024 Today in their PE lesson, Year 1 focused on the fundamental skills of bouncing and catching a ball. When they were catching, Year 1 made sure that their eyes were focused on the ball, they moved their body into the path of ball and their hands moved to meet the ball. They practised their throwing skills using two different sized balls. When Year 1 were bouncing the ball, they made sure that they pushed the ball down and used their fingers and controlled the bounce with their wrist. They even managed to change the speed and height at which they bounced the ball. Well done year 1! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/9BBF9C2C-4FB3-4B3B-85D2-E0A367FEF586.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E19B50BF-06A1-45E6-9F5E-BD1EE0975A21.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-15-reception-junior-jam) Previous ### [Reception Junior Jam](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-15-reception-junior-jam) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/647d4c4d-4039-4864-8a03-781009771cf0.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-15-year-3-4-tennis-competition) Next ### [Year 3/4 Tennis Competition ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-05-15-year-3-4-tennis-competition) ### 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/)
