Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Striking and Fielding ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0051.jpeg) 19 June 2025 Today, Year 5 enjoyed an energetic and competitive game of rounders as part of their PE lesson. The session focused on key skills including accurate striking, effective fielding and quick decision-making. The children worked on developing their hand-eye coordination, communication and teamwork. They also explored tactics such as choosing the best positions when fielding, backing each other up and judging when to run or stay on a base.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0051.jpeg) [Year 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-9F98477C-061A-44D4-83D6-3936EF6D11DF_(1).png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-year-3-english-presentation-of-learning-my-name-is-not-a-refugee) Previous ### [Year 3 - English- Presentation Of Learning- My name is not a Refugee](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-year-3-english-presentation-of-learning-my-name-is-not-a-refugee) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2734.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-darwen-netball-league-winners) Next ### [Darwen Netball League Winners ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-19-darwen-netball-league-winners) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
