The children worked on improving their hand-eye coordination, positioning and decision-making skills, applying these in small team games to develop a deeper understanding of both attacking and defensive strategies. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_0344(1).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/IMG_6452.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) Previous ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0070_(2).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-08-year-3-r-e-a-visit-from-rev-ben) Next ### [Year 3- R.E-A Visit from Rev.
